Thanks for the great support, I have installed ssl for the server and for the first site and things seems to be in order. However, I have couple of questions: 1- when I try to login to the panel with https://mydomain.tld:8080 it works ;-) , but when i enter http://mydomain.tld:8080 I get to see html error code such as <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN"> <html><head> <title>400 Bad Request</title> </head><body> <h1>Bad Request</h1> <p>Your browser sent a request that this server could not understand.<br /> Reason: You're speaking plain HTTP to an SSL-enabled server port.<br /> Instead use the HTTPS scheme to access this URL, please.<br /> <blockquote>Hint: <a href="https://server.mydomain.tld:8080/"><b>https://server.mydomain.tld:8080/</b></a></blockquote></p> </body></html> Is there a way to redirect the address to the (https) to avoid showing some detail that I would prefer not show? and it make it look more professional? 2- My first site works in both http and https, how do I make it to redirect the to the https even if I type in the address bar http only? 3- What is the range of ports that I could use to change the default instead of 8080? Thanks in advance, George
No, thats not possible. This error message is a low level error that occurs because the browser sent wrong data. Unlike port 443 vs. port 80, you can not do a redirect on custom ports like 8080 in such a case as there is no corresponding http vs. https port. Please see here: http://www.faqforge.com/linux/contr...http-connection-to-https-in-apache-webserver/ You may use any free port. Ports can be in the range from 1 to 65000. With: netstat -tap you can see which ports are in use on your server.
