I have to configure a reverse proxy to redirect the HTTPs Request to another host which is also running HTTPs,,,But I get stuck
Here is the virtualhost configuration on my Apache as the reverse Proxy
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin admin@mydomain.com
ServerName mail.mydomain.com
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} ^80$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{SERVER_NAME}$1 [L,R]
SSLProxyEngine on
<Proxy "*">
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Proxy>
ProxyPass / https://192.168.1.6/webmail/
ProxyPassReverse / https://192.168.1.6/webmail/
ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/webmail_log
CustomLog /var/log/apache2/webmail-access_log combined
</VirtualHost>
On my browser I use this address http://mail.mydomain.com
But it only redirect the request to the HTTPs at the reverse proxy server not the HTTPs at the mail host.
Thanks folks

I haven't set up a https reverse proxy yet but I'm about to do it right now
as far as I can tell your proxy definition is in the wrong place.
Your RewriteRule redirects you away from your http virtual host to your https virtual host, so there's the place where the proxy config has to go.
EDIT: basically I meant this:
remove the proxy from the vhost on port 80
and add it to the vhost listening on port 443 (https)
... other vhost config ....
I haven't tested this exact setup but I think it should work like this...
