If there is an Elastic Load Balancer and the SSL must be enforced (i.e. redirecting HTTP to HTTPS via ELB):

Modify the content of the configuration file to obtain the following lines:

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName $ELB_URL

## redirect http to https via ELB
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP:X-Forwarded-Proto} !https
RewriteRule ^ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]

CustomLog /var/log/httpd/$ELB_URL.acces.log combined
ErrorLog /var/log/httpd/$ELB_URL.error.log

</VirtualHost>

where

  • $ELB_URL is the URL provided by the ELB.

For more information about HTTPS while using Elastic Load Balancer, see the official documentation.
