= How to redirect HTTP requests to HTTPS = As of version 1.4.11 this is as simple as: {{{ $SERVER["socket"] == ":80" { $HTTP["host"] =~ "example.org" { url.redirect = ( "^/(.*)" => "https://example.org/$1" ) server.name = "example.org" } } $SERVER["socket"] == ":443" { ssl.engine = "enable" ssl.pemfile = "/path/to/example.org.pem" server.document-root = "..." } }}} (Note: this also works in versions prior to 1.4.11 providing you have not specified {{{server.port = 80}}} in your configuration file.) To redirect ''all'' hosts to their secure equivalents use the following in place of the socket 80 configuration above: {{{ $SERVER["socket"] == ":80" { $HTTP["host"] =~ "(.*)" { url.redirect = ( "^/(.*)" => "https://%1/$1" ) } } }}} ---- The information was taken from two postings to the mailing list by Jan: WARNING: unknown config-key: url.redirect (ignored) * http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.web.lighttpd/3575 * http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.web.lighttpd/3580 If you see this error {{{ WARNING: unknown config-key: url.redirect (ignored) }}} Then you need to add mod_redirect under server.modules in your lighttpd conf file: {{{ server.modules = ( "mod_rewrite", "mod_redirect", "mod_alias", "mod_access", ... ) }}}
