Question

I have a redirect rule :

    <VirtualHost *:80>
        ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost

        RewriteEngine On
        RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
        RewriteRule ^/?(.*) https://%{SERVER_NAME}/$1 [R,L]

</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:7080>
        ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost

        RewriteEngine On
        RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
        RewriteRule ^/?(.*) https://merchant.juspay.in/$1 [R,L]

        RewriteCond %{SERVER_NAME} demo.juspay.in
        RewriteRule ^/?(.*) https://merchant.juspay.in/$1 [R,L]

</VirtualHost>


<VirtualHost *:8080>
        RewriteEngine On
        RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
        RewriteRule (.*) https://api.juspay.in
</VirtualHost>

in apache. I need to a way to write a rule such that port 80 of my ip ( localhost ) shouldn’t be redirected to 8443.

How can I do that?

Answer 1

If you want to catch traffic coming in on HTTPS (port 443) you will need another virtualhost that listens on this port. Just use the same directory and settings (and a SSL cert) and you’re good.

You don’t need to do the RewriteRule. Apache will know what vhost to use to serve your files based on the protocol of the request.
