Apache2 – How to Disable Port 80 and Enable Port 443 for HTTPS on Debian

If you want redirect all :80 visits excluding those to http://example.com:

<VirtualHost _default_:80>
     RewriteEngine On
     RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^example.com$
     RewriteRule /.* https://example.com/ [R]
</VirtualHost>

If you want to redirect even the ones that go to http://example.com, do the following:

<VirtualHost _default_:80>
     RewriteEngine On
     RewriteRule /.* https://example.com/ [R]
</VirtualHost>

Obviously, if you have other VirtualHost stanzas, it may never reach the _default_ one.

Hope this helps!

You must change the port in two places :

In the VirtualHost :

<VirtualHost _default_:7443>

And in the Listen directive :

Listen 80
Listen 7443

To just see what Apache understand on your ports and VirtualHosts binding, just run :

httpd -S
