Force HTTP redirect to HTTPS

[scopa]

I have a new install and am new to apache (XAMPP)

I have my site setup and can access it manually by entering https://mysite.com/folder but it does not force the redirect to SSL

I have tried entering beloe in https-xampp.conf but apache doesnt start "bad flag delimiter"

Code: Select all

# Redirect /<em><span style="color: red;">folder_name</span></em> folder to https
   RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} <em><span style="color: red;">folder_name</span></em>
   RewriteRule ^(.*) https://%{SERVER_NAME}$1 [R,L]

I am confused on which file I need to edit since httpd.conf points to httpd-ssl.conf and httpd-xampp.conf in the httpd.conf file.

What should I be entering and where? If I have left out any information please let me know. Running on ubuntu 14.10 x64

Thank you,

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} <em><span style="color: red;">folder_name</span></em>

This is horrible nonsense (like mixing english and chinese), I think you first of all should learn about rewriting URLs.

Anyway, i dont get your question, what to do you want to redirect from http to https?
