I have ServerName mysite.com
       ServerAlias www.mysite.com
       Redirect permanent / https://mysite.com
in the VirtualHost *:80 portion of my configuration file.
ServerName and ServerAlias are also in the VirtualHost *:443 portion.
Everything (mysite.com, www.mysite.com, https://myssite.com) gets directed to https except for when http://mysite.com is used as the URL.
Is there something I missed?

in your port 80 vhost you can use mod_rewrite to force that

Code Select Expand

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
RewriteRule ^ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]

Don't forget to restart apache.

Mario, tried your suggestion, but restart of apache2 fails with error on the RewriteEngine line - Invalid Command perhaps misspelled ordained by a module not inc

Yes mod_rewrite.

In a Windows installation

Code Select Expand

LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so
in a linux installation run a2enmod rewrite

Okay, something is wrong with my setup. Safari works with everything except www.site. Firefox works only with https://. http://site and site alone is listed as Unsecure. www.site give a network protocol violation that cannot be repaired. An error in data transmission was detected.
Everybody that the site is designed for is instructed to just key in the site name alone, so I will just forget the Unsecure designation.

You may post your vhost(s) config. so we can take a look at it.
