I don't see a method for killing the non-SSL version, so I manually convert the port 80 entry to a permanent redirect to the port 443 site manually in my apache vhost.conf file. 3. Backup the Virtual Server to another system with Virtualmin. 4. Restore that backup. I'll get around to running another one of these pretty soon and let you know more about what happens. Or, maybe I'm doing something using a wrong method within Virtualmin? Maybe Virtualmin could have a "Convert Site to SSL Only" function, which would convert the port 80 side to a permanent redirect to the https site? Or maybe that ability is there and I'm just dense? I've been under serious sleep deprivation for the last several months.
