Redirect HTTP to HTTPS
From SolusVM
This is a rough guide to redirecting HTTP traffic to HTTPS in lighttpd
DISCLAIMER: Backup any and all files before editing. This guide worked perfect for me but use it at your own risk. I'm not affiliated with SolusVM other than being a happy customer.
Make the following changes to /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf
At the top of the file, add the following three lines for rewrite, redirect and alias:
server.modules = (
"mod_access",
"mod_rewrite",
"mod_redirect",
"mod_alias",
"mod_fastcgi",
"mod_accesslog" )
At the bottom of the file, add this section:
$SERVER["socket"] == ":5353" {
$HTTP["host"] =~ "vps.yourdomain.com" {
url.redirect = ( "^/(.*)" => "<nowiki>https://vps.yourdomain.com:5656/$1</nowiki>" )
}
}
If you also want to redirect your "regular" webtraffic (So that your users can enter vps.yourdomain.com in their browser) add this code instead of the above code:
$SERVER["socket"] == ":80" {
$HTTP["host"] =~ "vps.yourdomain.com" {
url.redirect = ( "^/(.*)" => "<nowiki>https://vps.yourdomain.com:5656/$1</nowiki>" )
}
}
$SERVER["socket"] == ":5353" {
$HTTP["host"] =~ "vps.yourdomain.com" {
url.redirect = ( "^/(.*)" => "<nowiki>https://vps.yourdomain.com:5656/$1</nowiki>" )
}
}
Make sure you change the URL's in the section above to your own!
Now go restart lighttpd again using the following command and test in your browser!
/etc/init.d/lighttpd restart
or
service lighttpd restart
