My apologies from the start as this has probably been answered in some way, and believe me I've tried all the "solutions" however I'm not good at .htaccess, and in a need of a quick help if I may ask.
What is bugging me that I managed to finally put the HTTPS www force on my domain to work, however I've ran into an issue where I do not want my url to be fully shown of my subdirectories,
For instance www.example.com/pages/link.html,
I want to be shown as www.example.com/link.html
Among other directories like .../img/, or .../sub_admin/
Current Code
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule .* https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\. [NC]
RewriteRule .* https://www.%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R]
As well what I recently tried to add:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^pages/
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ pages/$1 [L]
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule .* https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\. [NC]
RewriteRule .* https://www.%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R]
You'll probably have tried this already. Add condition as required.
RewriteRule ^pages/link.html?$ http://example.com/link.html [R=301,NC,L]

I think that this is rather simple, but I just can't wrap my head around it.
I have a domain like https://www.example.com
I want to rewrite it to https://example.com
That works. But I am also rewriting other urls like https://www.example.com/privacy
If I try to rewrite these too the user is always redirected to https://example.com/privacy.php
How do I prevent my server to show the actual filename instead of its rewritten url?
My code looks like this:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\. [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(?:www\.)?(.+)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^ https://%1%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L,NE]
RewriteRule ^checkout checkout.php [L]
RewriteRule ^imprint imprint.php [L]
RewriteRule ^privacy privacy.php [L]
RewriteRule ^terms terms.php [L]
RewriteRule ^allergy allergy.php [L]
RewriteRule ^nutrition nutrition.php [L]
RewriteRule ^order/([A-Z]*)?$ confirmation.php?lang=&id=$1 [L,QSA]
Any help is appreciated.
Regards
Have it this way:
Options -MultiViews
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\. [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(?:www\.)?(.+)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^ https://%1%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L,NE]
RewriteRule ^(checkout|imprint|privacy|terms|allergy|nutrition)/?$ $1.php [L]
RewriteRule ^order/([a-z]+)/?$ confirmation.php?lang=&id=$1 [L,QSA,NC]
Make sure to test after clearing your browser cache. Problem appears to be due to your patterns not using end anchor.
I have combined your multiple similar rules into one rule.
Currently I'm using http://example.com but I want redirect all to https://www.example.com
I read several topics here and tried quite a few solutions to this but nothing worked for me.
My last try was this:
RewriteCond %{HTTP:X-Forwarded-Proto} !https
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule .* https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\. [NC]
RewriteRule .* https://www.%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
When I'm using this code I can see this:
enter image description here
But it gives me this message also:
The page isn’t redirecting properly. Firefox has detected that the
server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will
never complete.
Can you help me with this?
Replace example with your domain and try
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^example\.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.example.com/$1 [R,L]
Looks to me that you're also trying to force www. You can do both by using this in your .htaccess:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\. [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
RewriteRule ^.*$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R,L]
Place this rule to the top of your .htaccess file and make sure you clear your cache before you test it.
I have been searching for the perfect 301 redirect. But I am finding so many solutions and do not know what’s best.
Here is what I want to do
http://domain.tld/ → https://domain.tld/
http://www.domain.tld/ → https://domain.tld/
https://www.domain.tld/ → https://domain.tld/
Best practice .htacess?
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.(.+)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^ https://%1%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]
</IfModule>
This is my preferred code. At least unil now.
Alternative ways
I also found a lot of other ways to redirect from HTTP to HTTPS. For example:
1.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI}
Missing one step? And no [R=301,L] here?
2.
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
Is a different order generally better?
Should I use
RewriteRule ^(.*)$
instead of
RewriteRule (.*)
?
3.
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} example\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^ https://example.com%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L,NE]
Does using the full domain name have any performance advantages? Do I really need NE? ([R=301,L,NE] vs. [L,R=301])
So, my question to all experts: What's the best (performing) way to redirect both from HTTP to HTTPS and from to HTTPS:// ?
To start with your favorite solution:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.(.+)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^ https://%1%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]
</IfModule>
In the part handling non-https URLs you are redirecting to %{HTTP_HOST}. Then, in case your host name started with "www", a second redirect has to take place to send you from https://www.domain.tld to https://domain.tld which is supposed to be your final destination.
You can shorten this by using
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://domain.tld/%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
directly in the first rule. The second rule would then only apply to clients, who try to access https://www.domain.tld.
Alternative 1. does not work for the same reason (missing the case that HTTP_HOST could be www.domain.tld) and additionally because of the missing [L,R=301]. This is necessary because you do not just rewrite an URL here, like you could do in other types of rewrite rules. You are requesting the client to change the type of it's request - this is why you are sending him a HTTP code of 301.
Concerning the match part of the RewriteRule itself, you should be consistent: if you want to capture parts of the URI you will use a regular expression with parentheses. As you are in fact using it as a whole here it is fine to just use one of the alternatives for "anything", like ^ and use %{REQUEST_URI} later. If you use some capturing (i.e. (some_regex) you should reference it in the target by using $1 (or whatever you are going to reference) here.
In your 3rd alternative, again www + https is missing.
You can check if https is off or if the domain name contains a leading "www" in one rule, however rewrite conditions are implicitly connected with "and".
So it should read:
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\. [NC]
RewriteRule ^ https://domain.tld%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L,NE]
The NE is necessary for passing on things like GET-parameters and the like on to the new URI unchanged, see:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/rewrite/flags.html
So, condensing, this becomes;
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\. [NC]
RewriteRule ^ https://example.com%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L,NE]
Let me know if you see any bugs
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule .* https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.
RewriteRule .* https://www.%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
Nothing to change just copy and paste.
I have 4 domain which I want 3 of them redirect to last one. I already used some htaccess rules and they are working great,
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^first.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*) http://www.forth.com/$1 [L,R=301]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.first.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.forth.com/$1 [L,R=301]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^second.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.forth.com/$1 [L,R=301]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.second.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.forth.com/$1 [L,R=301]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.third.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.forth.com/$1 [L,R=301]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^third.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.forth.com/$1 [L,R=301]
the only problem is when I enter "www.first.com/about" it does not shows "www.forth.com/about" just shows the same thing . all the domain are forwarded to forth.com and they do not have hosting so I cannot put htaccess file for those other domains , please guide. would be appreciated.
This is most likely what is happening, at least on my test cases this fix handles it.
Instead of using [L,R=301] reverse the order and do [R=301,L]. The L means Last and it ends cycle on evaluating what to do at that point. I've always used [R=301,L] as are all the examples that I could find anywhere. Potentially your apache may be hitting that L and immediately pass back the new string to the URL parser and isn't sending it as a 301 Redirect as it didn't get that far.
Also on the first.com snippit above you left out the $ on the ^(.*) - only for that line though, not sure if this was a typo or if it's missing in your actual .htaccess file.
Otherwise, you could tidy it up a bit by using:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^((www.)?)first.com [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^((www.)?)second.com [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^((www.)?)third.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.forth.com/$1 [R=301,L]
I thought this was pretty simple, but it doesn't seem to be working for me. I put in my httpd.conf:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^blog\.domain\.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ http://www.domain.com/blog/index.php [L,R=301]
I looked at two other questions here, one recommended ProxyPass, which didn't seem to work either.
My other thought was a VirtualHost for blog.domain.com. What's the best way to do this?
In my .htaccess I use it like this:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} (^|.)blog\.domain\.com [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.domain.com/blog/$1 [L]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} (^|.)blog\.domain\.com [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} =on
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.domain.com/blog/$1 [L]
Note that I use (^|.) for people who would write www.blog.domain.com!
Dont forget to handle https also.
