Redirect non-SSL requests to SSL mode?

After selecting the option Redirect non-SSL requests to SSL mode? in Webmin/Usermin Configuration. Shouldn't it change http://toofastdad.com to https://toofastdad.com

TIA

Hello toofastdad,

This options is acting for you Webmin admin page not for the website you are hosting. So basically it's doing this changes http://toofastdad.com :10000 to https://toofastdad.com :10000

if you want to do that for your website you need to add this redirect to your virtual host

Editing your Apache config

RedirectMatch ^/(?!.well-known)(.*)$ https://toofastdad.com/$1

Using the interface (Authentic theme) it's in the redirect options

  Services > Configure website > Aliases and redirect

Source URL path

^/(?!.well-known)

Destination URL at other website

https://toofastdad.com/$1

Enable redirect for

Non-SSL website

Finally the reason why .well-known folder is excluded from the redirection is to be able to request a certificate using let's encrypt, if you don't need it you can adapt the Source URL path to your needs.

kind regards

Matth

Thanks Matth, I followed your instructions — please view screen captures https://drive.google.com/open?id=15iJ18wXVdCXLReFfIjGbygaBTzV7-AVe.

When I type in the URL toofastdad.com it isn't https://toofastdad.com

I'm wondering if I put the code in the wrong places, or I missed a step.

Thanks... Colin

Hello Colin,

The RedirectMatch ^/(?!.well-known)(.*)$ https://toofastdad.com/$1 is on the Regex URL redirect in "Aliases and redirects"
Also When you "Edit Website Redirect" put check Include sub-path in Redirect.
Finally in "Server Configuration > manage SSL Certificate" do you see your Let's Encrypt Certificate in the "Current Certificate" tab ?

Hi Matth,

I made the changes listed above and encrypted the Current Certificate and selected Only Update Renewal. However, when I type in the browser http://toofastdad.com/ I get 403 Forbidden and when I type in https://toofastdad.com/ it goes to the web page. I've looked around but don't see where I am going wrong :(

Thanks... C

Hello Colin,

You have probably an issue with the redirect on your Apache config. could you show how your config looks you can post it here by using the tag <code> .
See More information about text formats if you have syntax issues.

Thanks

Here's the code

#
# This is the main Apache HTTP server configuration file.  It contains the
# configuration directives that give the server its instructions.
# See <URL:http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/> for detailed information.
# In particular, see 
# <URL:http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/directives.html>
# for a discussion of each configuration directive.
#
# Do NOT simply read the instructions in here without understanding
# what they do.  They're here only as hints or reminders.  If you are unsure
# consult the online docs. You have been warned.  
#
# Configuration and logfile names: If the filenames you specify for many
# of the server's control files begin with "/" (or "drive:/" for Win32), the
# server will use that explicit path.  If the filenames do *not* begin
# with "/", the value of ServerRoot is prepended -- so 'log/access_log'
# with ServerRoot set to '/www' will be interpreted by the
# server as '/www/log/access_log', where as '/log/access_log' will be
# interpreted as '/log/access_log'.

#
# ServerRoot: The top of the directory tree under which the server's
# configuration, error, and log files are kept.
#
# Do not add a slash at the end of the directory path.  If you point
# ServerRoot at a non-local disk, be sure to specify a local disk on the
# Mutex directive, if file-based mutexes are used.  If you wish to share the
# same ServerRoot for multiple httpd daemons, you will need to change at
# least PidFile.
#
ServerRoot "/etc/httpd"

#
# Listen: Allows you to bind Apache to specific IP addresses and/or
# ports, instead of the default. See also the <VirtualHost>
# directive.
#
# Change this to Listen on specific IP addresses as shown below to 
# prevent Apache from glomming onto all bound IP addresses.
#
#Listen 12.34.56.78:80

# Dynamic Shared Object (DSO) Support
#
# To be able to use the functionality of a module which was built as a DSO you
# have to place corresponding `LoadModule' lines at this location so the
# directives contained in it are actually available _before_ they are used.
# Statically compiled modules (those listed by `httpd -l') do not need
# to be loaded here.
#
# Example:
# LoadModule foo_module modules/mod_foo.so
#
Include conf.modules.d/*.conf

#
# If you wish httpd to run as a different user or group, you must run
# httpd as root initially and it will switch.  
#
# User/Group: The name (or #number) of the user/group to run httpd as.
# It is usually good practice to create a dedicated user and group for
# running httpd, as with most system services.

#
# All of these directives may appear inside <VirtualHost> containers,
# in which case these default settings will be overridden for the
# virtual host being defined.

# ServerAdmin: Your address, where problems with the server should be
# e-mailed.  This address appears on some server-generated pages, such
# as error documents.  e.g. admin@your-domain.com
#
ServerAdmin root@localhost

#
# ServerName gives the name and port that the server uses to identify itself.
# This can often be determined automatically, but we recommend you specify
# it explicitly to prevent problems during startup.
#
# If your host doesn't have a registered DNS name, enter its IP address here.

Hello colin,

It seems your redirect is not correct, you have
RedirectMatch ^/(?!.well-known) "https://toofastdad.com/$1"
you should have
RedirectMatch ^/(?!.well-known)(.*)$ https://toofastdad.com/$1

EDIT: I just noticed i have this in my config has well, you may have to add it at the same place

<Directory /home/toofastdad/public_html>
RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 80 RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://toofastdad.com/$1 [R,L]

Hi Matt, I added the changes above and it still is not working, it is odd that the quotes appeared around the code that I pasted in, I looked back at the previous screen capture that I'd posted and they were not in then — a mystery.

I've supplied the new config code below. The new code snippets that I added, are they in the correct place in the config file?

Hello Colin,

If you look up in your config you already have a section
<Directory /home/toofastdad/public_html>
Then within this section you can put this line below

RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 80 RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://toofastdad.com/$1 [R,L]

Once done hit the save config on the top right corner or restart Apache service.

Hi Matth... you are the champion — it works :)

Thank you very much in helping me with SSL and the config file. I learned a lot about an area that I am not familiar with, I will take some time to study the file and try to dig a little deeper in using Virtualmin/Webmin. I really appreciate your knowledge and your patience helping tweak my server, I think I am now ready to start designing and building a couple of sites that will be hosted on sub-servers of toofastdad.com

Once again — thank you.

There's a way to do this without having to edit config files.

Under VirtualMin tab select your domain.
Go to Services -> Configure Website (NOT Configure Website for SSL)
Go to Aliases & Redirects
In the "Permanant URL redirects" fields set "From" to: / Set "To" to: https://www.your-domain.com/
Click Save
Click the Reload symbol at the top right to apply the changes in Apache.

Job done! I hope this helps.

Matth

Effectively this is working, until you'll have to renew your let's encrypt(LE) certificate (every 2 months roughly).
Doing so you redirect all folders to the https address but LE requires to access your website in http only that's why you have to exclude .well-knwon from the redirection so you can access your website using https and LE will access .well-known in http only.

Matth

I have been able to successfully renew my certificates with these redirections in place. I assumed Virtualmin temporarily disabled them?

#16 Thu, 01/04/2018 - 19:05

Matth

Hum, I don't think so, Virtualmin does a lot's of stuff for you but not that much. You confirm you have cleaned up the redirect you had manually added to you Apache config file ? As soon as i have time I'll give it a try to see what it does.

Hi Matth... this was already working me — I replied to your earlier response and your suggestions worked, you are now responding to someone else who commented in this post.

Apologies for the confusion, I was sure I had succesfully renewed certificates with the redirects I mentioned in place, but I guess I was mistaken. Sorry, have bookmarked your advice for future reference myself!

@Matth

LE requires to access your website in http only that's why you have to exclude .well-knwon from the redirection so you can access your website using https and LE will access .well-known in http only.

I have just installed virtualmin successfully on my Centos 7 server, added LE certificate to my virtual servers and successfully redirect all http requests to https. How do I let LE access the .well-known folder in http after 2 months as you mentioned above?

I think that's covered in the second part of Matt's instructions in post #2 of this thread?
