To get Apache to force a URL to  https try this...

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !^on$ [NC]
RewriteRule . https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L]

The idea came from Mark W. Breneman

Here's how to do it or, for IIS6, you can get Microsoft to do the work with their SelfSSL tool from the IIS Resource Kit. Barney has a posting on an issue with Apache and OSX.

Seems like you can get CFMX 7.0.2 to play with Apache 2.2.x but if you have a prob Apache 2.0.59 is a safe bet.

In looking for resources on installing Apache on my Mac I found phpmac.com which has several good articles:

• Apache on OS X - Part 1
  
• Building and Installing Apache 2.2.0 and PHP 5.1.2 on Mac OS X 10.4.4
• Installing Apache 2 on Mac OS X
• Additional Useful Apache2 Config Settings
• If your httpd.conf file doesn't have this....
• How to run natively with Apache 2.0.xx
• Apache Config in MacOSX
• Installing Apache2 on Tiger
  

Pete Freitag has some good posting on his blog on Apache.

So does Webmilhouse.

And Cybersonic.
