Hey Jeff,

I have been trying to get this to work.
I am doing some web server upgrades/configurations, I am looking at
upgrading our apache servers to redhat enterprise 3/apache 2.x.
I may need the port 80 -> 443 redirection for a project I am working on.

I know I have gotten this mod_rewrite to work in the past on apache 1.3 but cannot get it to work on a rhel3/apache 2.x server. You can take a look at the following link and see the mode_rewrite is turned on. I
configure a self-signed certificate on my ssl server so https://lark.cs.unc.edu works. I cannot get any redirection to work even if I do something simple like:

RewriteRule ^/(.*) http://yahoo.com [L,R,NC]

I turned on rewrite logging and it does not log anything. I opened up server-info to .unc.edu so you should be able to see my config at:

http://lark.cs.unc.edu/server-info#mod_rewrite.c

Note I also see a problem with the server-info on rhel3/apache 2.x
where the core.c module does not fully list my configuration,
it cuts it off, but the mode_rewrite config is fully shown. Thanks
for any suggestions.

John, I'm not sure that it matters but I re-ordered the last bit of the RewriteRule to [NC,R,L]

Other than that, I don't see what's different about your configuration that would cause it not to work. I'm running it ok on a Solaris 8 box with Apache 2.0.48. FWIW, I used apxs to compile mod_rewrite rather than compiling it in with the source.


In httpd.conf do you have ServerName set to:
-------------------------------------------
ServerName lark.cs.unc.edu:80

and Listen set to:

Listen lark.cs.unc.edu:80




And in ssl.conf do you have Servername set to:
---------------------------------------------
ServerName lark.cs.unc.edu

and Listen set to:

Listen lark.cs.unc.edu:443
