Hi Chris, Thanks for the reply. Yes, my SSL config is all working. Everything is fine if I manually use https. The problem is, using http is supposed to force https. I have not tried redirectmatch since I guess I didn't know about it until now. I'm not an Apache config expert so I'll have to inves

Hello Dennis, If you are using the CentOS 5 and installed Apache as part of the install, you should have a file called 'ssl.conf' in the '/etc/httpd/conf.d/' directory. Have you set up that file correctly? When I set up my system, I needed to make a few changes to that file. In my file, I have

Thanks and you are, of course, correct. I knew that but I was desperate to try to get something, anything, working. I did fix it but since the more generic version did not work, it is not a surprise that the more specific rule does not work either. Yes I did check all the logs I could thing of but

I assume you mean the entire mailman site as opposed to the entire web site. Yes, that is what I want. Yes, it SHOULD work but doesn't. The main problem is that there are no errors anywhere I can find and I have no idea how to debug this. Yes, I restarted httpd and even rebooted out of desperation

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately I can't find any of this on the old server so I cannot understand what I did to make it work. I am not an Apache expert so I am having trouble with step 1 and hope someone can get me over this hump. I have SSL working as I can access the admin pages using https.
