redirect an application (egroupware) from http to https
 

Hello all,
I have egroupware installed. It is accessible via http and https.
I want egroupware only accessible via https.
I tried in apache derictives:

Redirect /egroupware https://domain.tld/egroupware

but when I access the url ispconfig says in derictives that it is not supported.

So, what is the correct way to make an app only accessible via https?
Or the correct way in ispconfig to do a redirect?

Is mod_rewrite enabled in your Apache?

yes, mod_rewrite is enabled in my apache2 configuration

What exactly did you add in the Apache Directives field? Just ?
You must at least have at the beginning. Have a look at this guide: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/misc/rewriteguide.html

Okay I tried this and it dont work.
I get then a message that the limit of redirect is reached for that URL.
ANd there is no discription about this limit in the link you gave.

Whats now?

can someone help

mod_rewrite must be loaded in your apache configuration and if you want to put rewrite rules in your apache directiveds window you must enable it wit putting this line

RewriteEngine on

in the apache directives window too as falko posted above.

"RewriteEngine on " have I set
but as I discribed I get the error message that the "limit of redirect is reached for that URL" when I browse http://domain.tld/egroupware

Okay I enable this fo some time:

Redirect /egroupware https://www.nopanicsystems.net/egroupware
RewriteEngine on

Please browse : http://www.nopanicsystems.net/egroupware

that you can see the error message.

what is to do?

It should be
This happens because when you go to https://www.nopanicsystems.net/egroupware it is redirected to https://www.nopanicsystems.net/egroupware which is then redirected to https://www.nopanicsystems.net/egroupware and so on - you're in a loop. you must change your redirect rule.

I have it done it how you mean it.

RewriteEngine on
Redirect /egroupware https://www.nopanicsystems.net/egroupware


browse http://www.nopanicsystems.net/egroupware
give the error, also with https.

I really dont know what is going wrong.
