I've just gotten an SSL cerificate and have redirected my site to display https:// rather than http:// using HTaccess:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule (.*) https://www.example.co.uk/%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
Before I used to link to my index like this:
Home
And you would be taken to http://www.example.co.uk.
Now with the SSL I've changed it to this:
Home
And it is taking me to https://www.example.co.uk/www.example.co.uk/.
Any idea why this is?
Your http -> https rules should be this:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule ^ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301,NE]
Make sure to clear your browser cache or use a new browser for testing.
This is what you need
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
# Redirect HTTP to HTTPS automatically (only if not in localhost)
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !=localhost
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
</IfModule>
I have the following htaccess code:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond !{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
</IfModule>
I want my site to be redirected to https://www. with HTTPS, and enforcing the www. subdomain,
but when I access http://www. (without HTTPS), it does not redirect me to https://www with HTTPS.
To first force HTTPS, you must check the correct environment variable %{HTTPS} off, but your rule above then prepends the www. Since you have a second rule to enforce www., don't use it in the first rule.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
# First rewrite to HTTPS:
# Don't put www. here. If it is already there it will be included, if not
# the subsequent rule will catch it.
RewriteRule .* https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
# Now, rewrite any request to the wrong domain to use www.
# [NC] is a case-insensitive match
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\. [NC]
RewriteRule .* https://www.%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
About proxying
When behind some forms of proxying, whereby the client is connecting via HTTPS to a proxy, load balancer, Passenger application, etc., the %{HTTPS} variable may never be on and cause a rewrite loop. This is because your application is actually receiving plain HTTP traffic even though the client and the proxy/load balancer are using HTTPS. In these cases, check the X-Forwarded-Proto header instead of the %{HTTPS} variable. This answer shows the appropriate process
Michals answer worked for me, albeit with one small modification:
Problem:
when you have a single site security certificate, a browser that tries to access your page without https:// www. (or whichever domain your certificate covers) will display an ugly red warning screen before it even gets to receive the redirect to the safe and correct https page.
Solution
First use the redirect to the www (or whichever domain is covered by your certificate) and only then do the https redirect. This will ensure that your users are not confronted with any error because your browser sees a certificate that doesn't cover the current url.
#First rewrite any request to the wrong domain to use the correct one (here www.)
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
#Now, rewrite to HTTPS:
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
If you are using CloudFlare or a similar CDN you will get an infinite loop error with the %{HTTPS} solutions provided here. If you're a CloudFlare user you'll need to use this:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP:X-Forwarded-Proto} =http
RewriteRule ^ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
BAD SOLUTION AND WHY!
Don't ever use the solution below because when you are using their code that is something like:
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule .* https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\. [NC]
RewriteRule .* https://www.example.com%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
The browser goes to:
http://example.com
Then redirects to:
https://example.com
Then redirects to:
https://www.example.com
This is too much request to the server.
Most of the answers even accepted one has this problem.
BEST SOLUTION AND THE ANSWER
This code has an [OR] condition to prevent dual changes at url!
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\. [NC]
RewriteRule (.*) https://www.example.com%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]
This is the best way I found for Proxy and not proxy users
RewriteEngine On
### START WWW & HTTPS
# ensure www.
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\. [NC]
RewriteRule ^ https://www.%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
# ensure https
RewriteCond %{HTTP:X-Forwarded-Proto} !https
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule ^ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
### END WWW & HTTPS
There are a lot of solutions out there. Here is a link to the apache wiki which deals with this issue directly.
http://wiki.apache.org/httpd/RewriteHTTPToHTTPS
RewriteEngine On
# This will enable the Rewrite capabilities
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
# This checks to make sure the connection is not already HTTPS
RewriteRule ^/?(.*) https://%{SERVER_NAME}/$1 [R,L]
# This rule will redirect users from their original location, to the same location but using HTTPS.
# i.e. http://www.example.com/foo/ to https://www.example.com/foo/
# The leading slash is made optional so that this will work either in httpd.conf
# or .htaccess context
To redirect http:// or https:// to https://www you can use the following rule on all versions of apache :
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.
RewriteRule ^ https://www.example.com%{REQUEST_URI} [NE,L,R]
Apache 2.4
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_SCHEME} http [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.
RewriteRule ^ https://www.example.com%{REQUEST_URI} [NE,L,R]
Note that The %{REQUEST_SCHEME} variable is available for use since apache 2.4 .
If you are on CloudFlare, make sure you use something like this.
# BEGIN SSL Redirect
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP:X-Forwarded-Proto} =http
RewriteRule ^ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
</IfModule>
# END SSL Redirect
This will save you from the redirect loop and will redirect your site to SSL safely.
P.S. It is a good idea to if check the mod_rewrite.c!
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 80
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R]
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www.
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]
Notes: Make sure you have done the following steps
sudo a2enmod rewrite
sudo service apache2 restart
Add Following in your vhost file, located at /etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default.conf
<Directory /var/www/html>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
allow from all
Require all granted
</Directory>
Now your .htaccess will
work and your site will redirect to http:// to https://www
Similar to Amir Forsati's solution htaccess redirect to https://www but for variable domain name, I suggest:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\. [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?(.+)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^ https://www.%2%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]
Set in your .htaccess file
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www.
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
RewriteRule ^ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
I used the below code from this website, it works great https://www.freecodecamp.org/news/how-to-redirect-http-to-https-using-htaccess/
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 80
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.yourdomain.com/$1 [R,L]
Hope it helps
I try first answer and it doesnt work...
This work:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{ENV:HTTPS} !=on
RewriteRule ^.*$ https://%{SERVER_NAME}%{REQUEST_URI} [R,L]
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
I'm currently trying to force https for may domain name. Its working for mydomain/wildcard but not for the home url that is mydomain/
I'm using this line for redirection in my .htaccess file:
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
You're almost there, use this in your .htaccess:
RewriteEngine On
#Force HTTPS on everything
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
RewriteRule ^.*$ https://%{SERVER_NAME}%{REQUEST_URI} [R,L]
That will force HTTPs on everything
I am using Codeigniter-.
My domain currently does not redirect to www version.
For example if I type mydomain.com then it stays mydomain.com. I want to redirect it to www.mydomain.com.
If someone types mydomain.com/controller/method then it should be www.mydomain.com/controller/method.
Another problem: I already tried other solutions but the problem is when it redirects to www version, it automatically adds "index.php" in the URL. But when I type www in the domain name then it works fine, no "index.php" in the URL. This problem occurs only during the redirection.
Here is my .htaccess file (I've removed the redirection code)
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|system|rpc_relay.html|canvas.html|robots\.txt)
RewriteCond $1 !^(sitemap\.xml|export)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/$1 [L]
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
To redirect from http:// to http://www. , and also remove the route file (index.php) in the url, put these lines on your htaccess :
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www.domain.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.domain.com/$1 [L,R=301]
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|images|css|js|styles|robots\.txt)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/$1 [L]
the domain is :
domain.com
folder with direct access :
images|css|js|styles
hope this help
I've used the following before:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\..+$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} (.+)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.%1/$1 [R=301,L]
</IfModule>
To redirect domain.com to www.domain.com, you could use the following rewrite rule. Please replace domain.com with your own domain name.
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www.domain.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.domain.com/$1 [L,R=301]
I don't know why there are such complex RewriteRules answers, even though Gobhi has provided a nice generic solution (= whatever the domain name is, it works).
Here's my solution.
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^mydomain\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.mydomain.com/$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteRule (.*)/index\.php$ $1/ [QSA]
</IfModule>
I would like to modify my .htaccess file so that when someone comes into my site without typing www the site always redirects them to the www version. For example, if my url is www.abc.com and they just type abc.com, I want to redirect them to abc.com.
Here is my current htaccess file:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteBase /
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^$ app/webroot/ [L]
RewriteRule (.*) app/webroot/$1 [L]
</IfModule>
Normally I know how to do the redirect, but im having issues since it already has those few lines in there.
I use the code below. It can be used for any domain name. You just need to enter it in your .htaccess file.
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]
(edited to have all the code in the same block)
Add something like this immediately after RewriteEngine on:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^example\.com$
RewriteRule ^(.*) http://www.example.com/$1 [R=301]
There are two methods available
1) use mod_alias apache module
Redirect permanent /something http://yourwebsite.com/something
2) Add the following entry in your .htaccess / http.conf / yourwebsite.conf in the webserver configuarion directory
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^yourwebsite.com
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.yourwebsite.com$1 [R=permanent,L]
If you want redirect example.com to www.example.com you can try below code
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !www.example.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.example.com/$1 [L,R=301,NC]
