[FX.php List] [OFF] Rewrite for forcing http to https possible?

[biscuit technologies]

There's a couple of things to look into. I'm on 10.4.11 and using entropy's
php, so you might have some differences, but this is what I just did.
go to /etc/httpd/httpd.conf using your preferred text editor (for simplicity
sake I used nano) and do a find (cntl-w, ("where")) for mod_rewrite and
check that it isn't commented out. Mine was fine.

upload the rewrite test to your /Library/Webserver/Documents folder with the
sample php file and sample .htaccess file and if needed do a sudo apachectl
restart graceful and give it a try. on my little mini it seems to work ok.

if you are accessing a user site folder you'll need to adjust the settings
in /etc/httpd/users/youruser.conf and that's explained more or less well at
http://michaelkrol.com/2005/11/21/enable-mod_rewrite-on-os-x-104-tiger/ but
to be honest I've had a lot easier time always using the root
(/Library/Webserver/Documents) directory for serving custom stuff.
