Here are some notes regarding how to do various tasks with Apache 2.
FORCE SSL/TLS ON HOST
This will force https, and redirect http connections to be https.
/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI}
PERMANENT DOMAIN REDIRECT
This is to forward a.fqdn.tld to b.fqdn.tld.
Use the Redirect command on the host to forward from.
/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
<Directory "/var/www/html">
#
# Possible values for the Options directive are "None", "All",
# or any combination of:
# Indexes Includes FollowSymLinks SymLinksifOwnerMatch ExecCGI MultiViews
#
# Note that "MultiViews" must be named *explicitly* --- "Options All"
# doesn't give it to you.
#
# The Options directive is both complicated and important. Please see
# http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/core.html#options
# for more information.
#
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
Redirect permanent / https://b.fqdn.tld/
#
# AllowOverride controls what directives may be placed in .htaccess files.
# It can be "All", "None", or any combination of the keywords:
# Options FileInfo AuthConfig Limit
#
AllowOverride None
#
# Controls who can get stuff from this server.
#
Require all granted
