About https problem of apache

[david hu]

I want user to be able to login to my website using https. I am thinking to setup my httpd.conf for apache this way:

I want to remove the following two lines from this file

<IfDefine SSL> //Line 1

...

</IfDefine> //Line 2

So that even web master start the apache using :
/usr/sbin/httpd -k start

Https is still enabled for my website.

Basically all I am trying to do is that: Instead of typing "/usr/sbin/httpd -k start -DSSL" to start apache, user can simply type "/usr/sbin/httpd -k start" (or still typing "/usr/sbin/httpd -k start -DSSL", in this case, since we do not define "SSL" in the config httpd.conf, -DSSL will be ignored).

Is this the desired way to always enforce https when we start apache?

Thanks,

David
