all my certs for customers are using www."sitename.com" in the common name, after a recent apache recompile all certs dont auto forward everyone to https://www.sitename.com so essentially i need to know how to make all cert or ssl traffic to forward people from https:// to https://www. for each cert site of which there are 8, thanks! im in apache 2.2, cpanel most recent , everything most recent.

couldn't you just modify your DNS config and use a cname to the www. A record in place of the current A record for the base domain?

A cname would work for the DNS record but it won't redirect which is the only thing that will fix the SSL error.

An .htaccess redirecting to the https domain would do it. You could also make sure all links going to https:// go to the correct url.

Perfect and thanks.
