Add and use rewrite rules

[Fill]

Hey guys,

I'm new with LiteSpeed and I can confess that I'm quite a noobish user, just discovering how linux stuff and webservers work.

I've just installed litespeed on my home server for testing purposes and installed phpmyadmin. Also, I've created a self-signed SSL certificate to make my web-admin login safer, as well as my phpmyadmin login. Everything's running smoothly just as I want, but I would like my server to redirect http requests on my phpmyadmin address to https

I found a page on litespeed support wiki which tells me to add some rewrite rules.

I tried to add it but it doesn't seem to work at all. Maybe I'm missing something? Here's a screenshot of what I have on my phpmyadmin virtualhost configuration (using a no-ip based domain name):


and yes, I saved changes, applied them and made a graceful restart. But http is not redirecting to https

What's wrong?

Thanks in advance,
Fill

hmm...you refer this wiki page:
http://www.litespeedtech.com/support/wiki/doku.php?id=litespeed_wiki:https_redirect

it looks right. any info in error.log or stderr.log?

you mean when you access

http://yourserver.com/, it won't redirect to https://yourserver.com ?

Hi,

I didn't know what was the prob., but I used .htaccess instead of server-wide rewrite-rules on control panel and it worked. Thanks for the help anyway.

best regards,
Fill

Thanks for the feedback. For server-wide rewrite rule, it should be

rewriteCond %{HTTPS} !on
rewriteCond %{HTTP:X-Forwarded-Proto} !https
rewriteRule ^/(.*)$ https://%{SERVER_NAME}%{REQUEST_URI} [R,L]

i.e., need an extra "/" in line 3. I wasn't aware of this either in my last post.
