rewriterule for http and https

[m***@cdsfulfillment.com]

I have a website say www.example.com. This is setup for port 80 and 443. The redirect/rewrite rule I use currently is for the port 80 virtual host for example.com in my httpd.conf file. When the user types www.example.com I want it to redirect to this URL below.

https://www.example.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/VerifyCustomer?storeId=100&type=Emp

So in my Vitural Host for the www.example.com:80 I have my rewrite rule set as this below.

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} promo=1225
RewriteRule /.* https://www.example.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/VerifyCustomer?storeId=100&type=Emp [L]

That part works great if I type http://www.example.com.

In my Virtual Host for www.example.com:443, I don't have anything for RewriteRule, which my problem is if a user goes to https://www.example.com, I will just get a blank page and shows Index of / on it. How can I get the RewriteRule to work for both port 80 and 443 correctly? I tried the same RewriteRule that I have in my port 80 Virtual Host in my 443 Virtual Host stanza in my httpd.conf file, but then it will just keep looping the URL for some reason.

So how can I get the RewriteRule to work for both port 80 and 443?

It's gotta be conflicting with some existing Rewrite/Redirect in your
port 443 vhost. Try turning on the RewriteLog and RewriteLogLevel 9 to
debug.

Here is my rewrite.log with loglevel 9. When I try to hit https://www.example.com it will just sit there and do nothing in the browser, but the rewrite log file keeps looping it looks like.

Correction in my httpd.conf file in the 443 stanza for my rewrite.log file. I have this

RewriteRule /server-status - [L]
RewriteRule /.* https://www.example.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/TopCategoriesDisplay?langId=-1&storeId=10001&catalogId=10001&activeLink=Home [R=301]
RewriteLogLevel 9
RewriteLog "/weblogs/rewrite.log"
RewriteLogLevel 9

Your pattern of "/.*" matches "/" and the URL you're redirecting to. Try
the following which only matches a literal request for "/":
RewriteRule ^/$ https://www....

I tried it with the ^/? in both the 80 and 443 stanzas and the https://www.example.com works just fine, but if I try to go to http://www.example.com it won't bring up a page.

That should end in a dollar sign, not a question mark

Typo on the reply on here. I did have a $ instead of a ? in my RewriteRule in my httpd.conf file.
