Hi,
On a default installation of CentOS (on AWS), running apache 2.2, I have the following configuration in my conf.d directory. So, besides for this configuration, I just have the default conf/httpd.conf file.
What I am trying to achieve is a configuration that:
1) If URL starts with http://www.example.com, it goes to http://example.com
2) If URL starts with https://www.example.com, it goes to https://example.com
I was able to achieve #1 with the configuration below. However, to achieve #2, I have configuration that is currently commented out at the end (what I provided below). If I un-comment it, the server fails to start with the error message:
| Code: | | Starting httpd: [Wed May 22 05:01:57 2013] [warn] default VirtualHost overlap on port 443, the first has precedence. |
I am a bit confused as I thought the docs said that default is just an alias for '*'. If I change both port 443 VirtualHost entries to say *:443, the server start up still fails with the same error as above. However, if I change both port 443 VirtualHost entires to say _default_:443, the server starts up, but https://www.example.com/ request stays the same and no redirect happens.
Any ideas what I am doing wrong here and how to fix it would be highly appreciated!
Thank you!

Here is the configuration:
| Code: |
LoadModule ssl_module modules/mod_ssl.so
Listen 443
NameVirtualHost *:80
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/example.com
ServerName example.com
CustomLog "/var/log/httpd/example.com_log" common
ErrorLog "/var/log/httpd/example.com_error_log"
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName www.example.com
Redirect permanent / http://example.com/
</VirtualHost>
SSLPassPhraseDialog builtin
SSLSessionCache shmcb:/var/cache/mod_ssl/scache(512000)
SSLSessionCacheTimeout 300
SSLMutex default
SSLRandomSeed startup file:/dev/urandom 256
SSLRandomSeed connect builtin
SSLCryptoDevice builtin
<VirtualHost _default_:443>
ServerName example.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/example.com
ErrorLog logs/example_ssl_error_log
TransferLog logs/example_ssl_access_log
LogLevel warn
SSLEngine on
...

</VirtualHost>
# VirtualHost to redirect to non-www domain
#<VirtualHost *:443>

You need two rewrite rules. One in each vhost
for the port 80
| Code: |
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^([^.]+)\.example\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://example.com/$1 [R=301,L]
|
for 443
| Code: |
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^([^.]+)\.example\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://example.com/$1 [R=301,L]
