Trying to setup django app using https

Question

I'm trying to figure out how I can setup the admin pages for my new django site to use https. Ideally I'd like to have it so that when I go to http://myproject.com it goes to my site as usual, but if I go to http://admin.myproject.com the user gets redirected to https://admin.myproject.com would host a separate django app which just handles everything admin.

Right now I'm just trying to get the https site to work, but https://admin.myproject.com just gives me a server not found error.

This is what I have so far:

Apps:
    djangoproject
    djangoproject_admin

Domains:
    myproject.com
        Subdomains:
            myproject.com
            www.myproject.com
            admin.myproject.com

Sites:
    djangoproject_admin (https is checked)
        Subdomains:
            admin.myproject.com
        Site Apps:
            /: djangoproject_admin

    djangoproject
        Subdomains:
            myproject.com
            www.myproject.com
        Site Apps:
            /: djangoproject

Anyone have any idea what's wrong?

EDIT: Just reworded a little bit to point out that right now I'm trying to get the https://admin.myproject.com site working. I haven't gotten to the redirects yet.

Create 'redirect' apps that sit at the http:// paths,

Thanks, I'll try that after I get the admin page working first. It'll be difficult to make sure the redirect app is working if the target page is still broken.
