CentOS - May 2008 - Apache Redirects...

I'm trying to require SSL for drupal login and admin pages and it seems
that this should work but it doesn't redirect if added to httpd.conf or
to .htaccess (I've tried both)

  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/(user|admin)
  RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{SERVER_NAME}/$1 [L,R]

Shouldn't this be enough so that the URL...(googling suggests that it
is)

http://cms.tobyhouse.com/user/login
is automatically redirected to
https://cms.tobyhouse.com/user/login

?

This is what I have in my /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf file:-
<Directory "/var/www/html">
    RewriteEngine on
    RewriteBase /
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?q=$1 [L,QSA]
    RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
    RewriteRule .* https://%{HTTP_HOST}:443%{REQUEST_URI} 
[QSA,R=permanent,L]

I hope this helps,

Ian

nevermind...the rules work but they had to be higher up in the re-write
rules to work
