    <p>I'm using Apache 2.4, and I set up two virtual directories. One requires SSL, and the other one redirects to it.</p> <p>If a user attempts to visit <code>https://www.derp.com/derp</code> without /derp existing, they correctly get a 404. But when a user visits <code>http://www.derp.com/derp</code>, Apache incorrectly redirects the user to <code>https://www.derp.comderp</code>, removing the slash between the path and the domain name.</p> <p>I have no idea what would be causing this.</p> <p>The following is the setup of my Virtual Host.</p> <pre><code>&lt;VirtualHost *:443&gt; ServerAdmin derp@derp.com ServerName www.derp.com ServerAlias derp.com DocumentRoot "C:\Users\derp\Documents\Web Projects\derp" SSLEngine on SSLCertificateFile "C:\Apache24\certs\cert.cer" SSLCertificateKeyFile "C:\Apache24\certs\key.key" &lt;/VirtualHost&gt; &lt;VirtualHost *:80&gt; ServerAdmin derp@derp.com ServerName www.derp.com ServerAlias derp.com Redirect permanent / https://www.derp.com/ &lt;/VirtualHost&gt; &lt;Directory "C:\Users\derp\Documents\Web Projects\derp"&gt; Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes ExecCGI AllowOverride All Require all granted SSLRequireSSL &lt;/Directory&gt; </code></pre> <p>Why would Apache be behaving this way?</p> <p>Bonus Question: Should redirects be handled in my virtual host definition, or should it be handled in the .htaccess file in the web site's physical directory?</p> <hr> <p><strong>Edit:</strong></p> <p>I'm starting a Laravel project, and by default the public folder does contain a .htaccess file, so here's that guy:</p> <pre><code>&lt;IfModule mod_rewrite.c&gt; Options -MultiViews RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteRule ^ index.php [L] &lt;/IfModule&gt; </code></pre> <hr> <p><strong>Edit Two:</strong></p> <p>I tried: </p> <ul> <li>adding a slash at the end of the DirectoryRoot path</li> <li>replacing the backslashes with forward slashes in the DirectoryRoot path</li> <li>replacing the backslashes with double backslashes in the DirectoryRoot path </li> </ul> <p>I also removed the .htaccess file from the directory completely.</p> <p>It redirects correctly when you go from <code>http://www.derp.com</code> to <code>https://www.derp.com</code>. It's just when you specify a path and attempt https that it removes the slash between the domain and the path.</p> <hr> <p><strong>Edit Three:</strong></p> <p>I also attempted the following suggestion:</p> <blockquote> <pre><code>Redirect permanent / https://www.derp.com/ Try RedirectMatch permanent /(.*) https://www.derp.com/$1 or RedirectMatch permanent (.*) https://www.derp.com/$1 </code></pre> </blockquote> <p>... and instead of redirecting to <a href="https://www.derp.comderp">https://www.derp.comderp</a>, it instead does not redirect, attempts and gives a 404 for <a href="http://www.derp.com/derp">http://www.derp.com/derp</a>, but using Apache's 404, instead of throwing a Not Found Exception, as Laravel does without configuration.</p> <hr> <p><strong>Edit Four:</strong> </p> <p>I have also tried:</p> <pre><code>&lt;IfModule mod_rewrite.c&gt; Options -MultiViews RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule . /index.php [L] &lt;/IfModule&gt; </code></pre> <p>In the .htaccess file and the behavior did not change at all.</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
