Hi Everyone,
I run a website off of a Ubuntu server (10.04 LTS, I think) with Apache, MySQL, and PHP. It serves both HTTP and HTTPS content. Currently, I have two main <directory> tags -- one for HTTP and one for HTTPS -- and I'm copying/pasting the same rewrite rules into both of them.

Is there a better way of doing this so I don't have to put the same rewrite rules in twice? Could I create a <directory> tag that would apply to both HTTP and HTTPS and put the rewrite rules in there?

Thanks for your help!

Here's a modified version of my Apache site configuration file (the real one has more rewrite rules):

Code:
<VirtualHost *:80>
   ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost

   DocumentRoot /var/www
   <Directory />
      Options FollowSymLinks
      AllowOverride None
   </Directory>
   <Directory /var/www/>
      Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
      AllowOverride None
      Order allow,deny
      allow from all


AddType video/webm .webm

Redirect 301 /pricing-and-signup/ /plans-and-pricing/

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^tryv3/?$ /index.php [L]
RewriteRule ^TRYV3/?$ /index.php [L]

RewriteRule ^404/?$ /Error.php?Error=404 [L]
ErrorDocument 404 /404/


</Directory>

   ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /usr/lib/cgi-bin/
   <Directory "/usr/lib/cgi-bin">
      AllowOverride None
      Options +ExecCGI -MultiViews +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
      Order allow,deny
      Allow from all
   </Directory>

   ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/error.log

   # Possible values include: debug, info, notice, warn, error, crit,
   # alert, emerg.
   LogLevel warn

   CustomLog /var/log/apache2/access.log combined

    Alias /doc/ "/usr/share/doc/"
    <Directory "/usr/share/doc/">
        Options Indexes MultiViews FollowSymLinks
        AllowOverride None
        Order deny,allow
        Deny from all
        Allow from 127.0.0.0/255.0.0.0 ::1/128
    </Directory>

</VirtualHost>


<VirtualHost xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:443>
   ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
   ServerName [REDACTED]

   SSLEngine On
   SSLCertificateFile [REDACTED]
   SSLCertificateKeyFile [REDACTED]
   SSLCertificateChainFile [REDACTED]

   DocumentRoot /var/www
   <Directory />
      Options FollowSymLinks
      AllowOverride None
   </Directory>
   <Directory /var/www/>
      Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
      AllowOverride None
      Order allow,deny
      allow from all


AddType video/webm .webm

Redirect 301 /pricing-and-signup/ /plans-and-pricing/

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^tryv3/?$ /index.php [L]
RewriteRule ^TRYV3/?$ /index.php [L]

RewriteRule ^404/?$ /Error.php?Error=404 [L]
ErrorDocument 404 /404/


</Directory>

   ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /usr/lib/cgi-bin/
   <Directory "/usr/lib/cgi-bin">
      AllowOverride None
      Options +ExecCGI -MultiViews +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
      Order allow,deny
      Allow from all
   </Directory>

   ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/error.log

   # Possible values include: debug, info, notice, warn, error, crit,
   # alert, emerg.
   LogLevel warn

   CustomLog /var/log/apache2/access.log combined

    Alias /doc/ "/usr/share/doc/"
    <Directory "/usr/share/doc/">
        Options Indexes MultiViews FollowSymLinks
        AllowOverride None
        Order deny,allow
        Deny from all
        Allow from 127.0.0.0/255.0.0.0 ::1/128
    </Directory>

</VirtualHost>

The rewrite rules that are repeated:

Code:
AddType video/webm .webm

Redirect 301 /pricing-and-signup/ /plans-and-pricing/

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^tryv3/?$ /index.php [L]
RewriteRule ^TRYV3/?$ /index.php [L]

RewriteRule ^404/?$ /Error.php?Error=404 [L]
ErrorDocument 404 /404/

Hi jzimmerlin,

As per the Apache 2.2 documentation, http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/co ... irtualhost simply do:

Code:
<VirtualHost 1.2.3.4:80 1.2.3.4:443>
    ...
</VirtualHost>

Regards,
Top

OK, so I finally got around to trying this. Unless I misunderstood what you meant, this didn't work.

Code:
<VirtualHost *:80 72.14.190.162:443>
   ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
   ServerName www.rundowncreator.com

   SSLEngine On
   SSLCertificateFile /etc/apache2/ssl/STAR_rundowncreator_com.crt
   SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/apache2/ssl/rundowncreator.com.key
   SSLCertificateChainFile /etc/apache2/ssl/PositiveSSL.ca-bundle

   DocumentRoot /var/www
   <Directory />
      Options FollowSymLinks
      AllowOverride None

(REWRITE RULES WOULD GO HERE)

   </Directory>
   <Directory /var/www/>
      Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
      AllowOverride None
      Order allow,deny
      allow from all
   </Directory>

   ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /usr/lib/cgi-bin/
   <Directory "/usr/lib/cgi-bin">
      AllowOverride None
      Options +ExecCGI -MultiViews +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
      Order allow,deny
      Allow from all
   </Directory>

   ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/error.log

   # Possible values include: debug, info, notice, warn, error, crit,
   # alert, emerg.
   LogLevel warn

   CustomLog /var/log/apache2/access.log combined

    Alias /doc/ "/usr/share/doc/"
    <Directory "/usr/share/doc/">
        Options Indexes MultiViews FollowSymLinks
        AllowOverride None
        Order deny,allow
        Deny from all
        Allow from 127.0.0.0/255.0.0.0 ::1/128
    </Directory>

</VirtualHost>

...will force SSL on port 80 and 443, which is not what I want. And...

Code:
<VirtualHost *:80 72.14.190.162:443>
   ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost

   DocumentRoot /var/www
   <Directory />
      Options FollowSymLinks
      AllowOverride None

(REWRITE RULES WOULD GO HERE)

   </Directory>
   <Directory /var/www/>
      Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
      AllowOverride None
      Order allow,deny
      allow from all
   </Directory>

   ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /usr/lib/cgi-bin/
   <Directory "/usr/lib/cgi-bin">
      AllowOverride None
      Options +ExecCGI -MultiViews +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
      Order allow,deny
      Allow from all
   </Directory>

   ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/error.log

   # Possible values include: debug, info, notice, warn, error, crit,
   # alert, emerg.
   LogLevel warn

   CustomLog /var/log/apache2/access.log combined

    Alias /doc/ "/usr/share/doc/"
    <Directory "/usr/share/doc/">
        Options Indexes MultiViews FollowSymLinks
        AllowOverride None
        Order deny,allow
        Deny from all
        Allow from 127.0.0.0/255.0.0.0 ::1/128
    </Directory>

</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost 72.14.190.162:443>
        ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
        ServerName www.rundowncreator.com

        SSLEngine On
        SSLCertificateFile /etc/apache2/ssl/STAR_rundowncreator_com.crt
        SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/apache2/ssl/rundowncreator.com.key
        SSLCertificateChainFile /etc/apache2/ssl/PositiveSSL.ca-bundle
</VirtualHost>

...gives me:

Code:
[Fri May 04 10:00:31 2012] [warn] VirtualHost 72.14.190.162:443 overlaps with VirtualHost 72.14.190.162:443, the first has precedence, perhaps you need a NameVirtualHost directive

Any ideas?

You may have more success putting the common configuration in a third file, and including that file from each vhost. The warning message is telling you to add a NameVirtualHost directive. If that doesn't do it, I wouldn't be sure how to mix non-secured and secured vhost definitions either.

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/core.html#include should do it.
