HTTPS and Zend Framework - apache

Question

I am trying to convert a functional ZF application to use SSL. The certificate is valid and works, but I am having trouble configuring the application.
Here's what's in .htaccess:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
RewriteRule ^ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -s [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -l [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^.*$ - [NC,L]
RewriteRule ^.*$ index.php [NC,L]
SetEnv APPLICATION_ENV development
IndexController is really simple:
class IndexController extends Zend_Controller_Action
{
public function indexAction() {
$auth = Zend_Auth::getInstance();
if ($auth->hasIdentity()) {
$this->_helper->redirector('index', 'dash');
} else {
$this->_helper->redirector('index', 'auth');
}
}
}
When I browse to the site without specifying https or port, it accurately routes me to https://app-url.com, but then tries to redirect to https://app-url.com/auth and returns a 403. What am I missing?

Answer 1

Assuming that 'index' is the name for the controller and 'dash' the name for the action, your parameters for the Redirector Helper1 are in the wrong order.
The first parameter is the action, the second the controller. So the correct method call would be
$this->_helper->redirector('dash', 'index');
This will redirect you to the URL /index/dash if no particular routes are set.
In the case that 'dash' is indeed the name of the controller and 'index' the name of the action, simply add a new controller named DashController which contains an indexAction() method and the redirect should work.
1) If you call the helper via $this->_helper->name this will call the direct() method, which in the redirector helper calls the method gotoSimple($action, $controller = null, $module = null, array $params = array())
