    Hello all,
    I have egroupware installed. It is accessible via http and https.
    I want egroupware only accessible via https.
    I tried in apache derictives:

    Redirect /egroupware https://domain.tld/egroupware

    but when I access the url ispconfig says in derictives that it is not supported.

    So, what is the correct way to make an app only accessible via https?
    Or the correct way in ispconfig to do a redirect?

    mod_rewrite must be loaded in your apache configuration and if you want to put rewrite rules in your apache directiveds window you must enable it wit putting this line

    RewriteEngine on

    in the apache directives window too as falko posted above.

    It should be
    Code:
    RewriteEngine on
    Redirect /egroupware [url]https://www.nopanicsystems.net/egroupware[/url]
    This happens because when you go to https://www.nopanicsystems.net/egroupware it is redirected to https://www.nopanicsystems.net/egroupware which is then redirected to https://www.nopanicsystems.net/egroupware and so on - you're in a loop. you must change your redirect rule.

    okay, but what should I change. I set it how you meant it :

    Code:
    RewriteEngine on  
    Redirect /egroupware https://www.nopanicsystems.net/egroupware  
    thats what you meant, and thats what I set in ispconfig

    sorry, I dont know what should I change?!

    I just meant that the RewriteEngine line must be at the beginning, before any rewrite rule.

    For the correct Redirect rule, check out this page: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/misc/rewriteguide.html

    seems to be solved

    in apache deritives:

    Code:
    RewriteEngine on
    RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} !443
    RewriteRule (.*/egroupware) https://www.nopanicsystems.net/egroupware [R]   
    In the moment it seems that all is running!

    okay, thanks for help!!!
