I am currently running CentOS which hosts my web and gitlab server and a windows machine that is hosting a subsonic server. Currently, my ip points to the CentOS but does not redirect correctly. I am able to access / but unable to access any other sites with the subdomain despite the settings I have made so I would like to know where I am going wrong and how to rectify the issue. Is it also possible that when people enter http://git.example.com that it will automatically be redirected to https://git.example.com? Thanks in advance!

NameVirtualHost *:80
#This should lead to subsonic server
<VirtualHost *>
    ServerName music.company.com
    ServerAlias www.music.company.com
    ProxyRequests Off

    <Proxy *>

You have a mismatch between 

NameVirtualHost *:80

and

<VirtualHost *>

You need to change the VirtualHost to be the same as NameVirtualHost, i.e.

<VirtualHost *:80>

As for the redirect, vic's answer should help - if not, have a look at Redirect, Change URLs or Redirect HTTP to HTTPS in Apache - Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Mod_Rewrite Rules but Were Afraid to Ask

  • shouldn't i be using proxy instead of mod_rewrite? when should i be using proxy instead?

  • You can use both. Use mod_rewrite for the redirect, and mod_proy to access the actual content.

  • i am a bit confused with this. what redirect and proxy should be done? shouldn't the virtualhost:80 be listening for the subdomain already? then proxy to access the actual content?

    You asked how to redirect http://git.example.com to https://git.example.com. You do this by having a virtualhost *:80 with ServerName git.example.com and within that virtualhost you use mod_rewrite to redirect to https://git.example.com.

  • how about the proxy of music.comapny.com to the other server? I can't seem to get it working. :/

Use these rules they worked for me: 

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule (.*) (https)://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} 
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^apache-redirect-http-to-https\.html$ (https)://www.yoursite.com/apache-redirect-http-to-https.html [R=301,L]

Note: remove () with https link. These are my configs:

NameVirtualHost *:80
<VirtualHost *:80>
   ServerName mysite.example.com
   DocumentRoot /usr/local/apache2/htdocs 
   Redirect permanent / https://mysite.example.com/
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost _default_:443>
   ServerName mysite.example.com
   DocumentRoot /usr/local/apache2/htdocs
   SSLEngine On
   # etc...
</VirtualHost>

I know I'm really late to the party but it shows on the very top in the search engine when I was looking for the answer. This one works like a charm for me:

<VirtualHost YOUR.SERVERS.IP.HERE:80>
RewriteEngine on
ReWriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} !^443$
RewriteRule ^/(.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [NC,R,L]
</VirtualHost>
