does anyone know how to divert traffic to a different server/port on apache?

cos i want to divert webmail to the https:// address... by putting /mail at the end of my dns

EDIT: i tried the instructions on apahce's site and it didnt work

you cannot use a virtual host to refer to https:// it will just go over https when its a secure doc.

as far as i know you cannot do virtual hosts with dyndns or no-ip domains

BOD

damn! oh well thanks topher....

stitch

www.uni.cc domains make virtual hosts out of top level directories

so say you have www.bod.uni.cc

and u have your mail in bod.uni.cc/mail

that should be mail.bod.uni.cc

i got that bit working, but its the https:// thats the problem

ok for https you need openssl and modssl installed, and u need a certificate (just generate your own).

you also gotta do some config for the ssl too, and i dunno how to do that.

i can access it if i got to https;//bod,no-ip.org etc.... but its diverting it...

Bash

in uni.cc, you can port foward if that helps

You can redirect it. As long as it's on the same system or local network you can redirect it. Heres a example.

Say you have a HTTPD based email that uses it's own HTTPD that runs on port 3000. Your standard HTTPD for your website uses port 80. You can just make a link that will redirect it to the mail server though Apache.

Like so.

Redirect /mail http://www.domain.com:3000

Just add it to the buttom of the HTTPD.CONF file.
This way instead of having peole typing in http://www.domain.com:3000 they can just put in http://www.domain.com/mail

=================================================

I think you can do the same thing your're trying but with the localhost address and the port number. That's if you have Apache set to listen on all IPs.

actually it doesnt matter much now as i put SME back on which does it by deafault

You can use specific vhosts coming in only on https:// by doing <VirtualHost *:443>, and using <VirtualHost *:80> for vhosts on regular http://

Bad explanation, but you get the point.
