Are you using Apache 1.3.x ?

I just did this this morning, but it seems fine so far. In
/path/to/apache/conf/httpd.conf

Under the <IfDefine SSL> section, add:

<VirtualHost 129.81.118.5:80>
Redirect   /   https://your.host.org
</VirtualHost>

Putting the redirect in the main server has the unpleasant effect of a nasty
loop. Everytime you hit the https://url, you get redirected to it. The added
benefit is if you ever need to start apache without SSL, you don't have to
mess with the config to do it.
