Thanks to everyone for the help so far. Nothing has worked. My
/etc/httpd/conf.d/force-ssl.conf file is now:
----
# Rewrite Rules.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
RewriteRule ^/webmail/(.*) https://%{SERVER_NAME}/webmail/$1 [R,L]
RewriteRule ^/mailman/(.*) https://%{SERVER_NAME}/mailman/$1 [R,L]
#Debug rewrite rules
RewriteLog /etc/httpd/logs/rewrite_engine_log
RewriteLogLevel 9
----
I didn't change the RewriteRule lines because:
1) Patrick's first suggestion, to remove the initial slash, shouldn't
matter and in fact didn't change anything in testing.
2) %{SERVER_NAME} covers Ankush's suggestion about using ip or fqdn;
if that part wasn't working I'd be getting redirected to the wrong
place, but I'm not getting redirected anywhere.
3) Todd Wease's suggestion is nearly identical to what I have already.
He left out a trailing slash in the pattern to match, but I've tried
typing URLs both with and without the slash and it doesn't make a
difference. His RewriteCond is equivalent to mine in my case where
http runs on 80 only, and https on 443 only.
I did increase the RewriteLogLevel, but there no entries ever show up
in that log file.
I have tried removing the "RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on" line, just in
case, but that didn't make any difference.
I checked /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf and found the line "LoadModule
rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so" so that's good.
It was great of Ankush to send ssl cert instructions, but I already
have that working; SSL is not the issue.
So what's going on here? As far as I can tell, mod_rewrite is just not
doing what it has been told to do. It's like it's not even watching.
Thanks again,
Matt
