You could just use this module to automatically make the changes for you: http://forums.sentora.org/showthread.php?tid=2001

About he redirect:
This is the old way of doing things using a .htaccess file:

Code:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !on
RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI}

And I guess the new, preferred method in httpd-vhosts.conf is:

Code:

<VirtualHost *:80>
   ServerName www.example.com
   Redirect / https://www.example.com/
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:443>
   ServerName www.example.com
   # ... SSL configuration goes here
</VirtualHost>

Although I am not sure how to do the preferred method properly...
