I am trying to update my htaccess file to redirect from http to https but I am getting too many redirects. I have never used this type of file before so not sure if doing something very obviously wrong
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule .* https://www.xxxx.org.uk%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
I have had a solution which works for those that face a similar problem in the future.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{ENV:HTTPS} !=on
RewriteRule ^.*$ https://%{SERVER_NAME}%{REQUEST_URI} [R,L]
Looking to redirect an entire domain to its https://example.com version for any variants that are requested (http://, https://www., and www.) in the most SEO friendly way possible.
(I am aware that there are a lot of similar Q/A's, but they seem to be specific so I decided to start with a clean post).
I am currently using this:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 80
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://example.com/$1 [R,L]
But I have been told that the redirect is not 301, and it also does not redirect the https://www. version.
Is there a simple way to do this all in one go?
Thank you in advance!
Take care
You can use a single rule in your site root .htaccess for this:
RewriteEngine On
# remove www and turn on https in same rule
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\. [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(?:www\.)?(.+)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^ https://%1%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L,NE]
Use a new browser to test the change.
Where my site is hosted, I'm using .htaccess and it has a condition to remove the www and direct to the main page without the www.
<ifModule mod_rewrite.c>
Header set X-Frame-Options DENY
RewriteEngine On
# Required to allow direct-linking of pages so they can be processed by Angular
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !index
RewriteRule (.*) index.html [L]
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.(.*)
RewriteRule (.*) http://meusite.com.br [R=301,L]
</ifModule>
The problem is this, when someone accesses an internal page with www, it falls for this check and is directed to the home, example:
If someone accesses the link: http://www.meusite.com.br/conteudo/94-vai-criar-um-site-to-your-employee-said-you-can-noble
It will direct to http://meusite.com under the condition.
What I need, is that it is directed to the following link: http://meusite.com/content/94-vai-create-a-site-to-your-employee-behavior-which-cannot-can- -fine only by removing the www from the link.
Does anyone know if this check is possible in .htaccess?
EDIT:
.htaccess is not able to translate your titles from portugese to english.
You should do redirection to normal domain with full link, and then do internal redirection with your backend (i.e. php, ruby) to proper translated link.
Use following code before your redirection, so links with conteudo will be catched here and redirected properly using backreferences:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\..* [NC]
RewriteRule ^\/conteudo\/(.*)$ http://menusite.com.br/content/$1 [R=301,L]
Soluction:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.(.*)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://%1/$1 [R=301,L]
I have this in my .htaccess file:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^example.com$
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.example.com$1 [R=301,L]
but whenever I access a file on my root like http://example.com/robots.txt it will redirect to http://www.example.comrobots.txt/.
How can I correct this so that it will redirect correctly to http://www.example.com/robots.txt?
Change your configuration to this (add a slash):
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^example.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.example.com/$1 [R=301,L]
Or the solution outlined below (proposed by #absiddiqueLive) will work for any domain:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\. [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]
If you need to support http and https and preserve the protocol choice try the following:
RewriteRule ^login\$ https://www.%{HTTP_HOST}/login [R=301,L]
Where you replace login with checkout.php or whatever URL you need to support HTTPS on.
I'd argue this is a bad idea though. For the reasoning please read this answer.
Here's the correct solution which supports https and http:
# Redirect to www
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^[^.]+\.[^.]+$
RewriteCond %{HTTPS}s ^on(s)|
RewriteRule ^ http%1://www.%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
UPD.: for domains like .co.uk, replace
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^[^.]+\.[^.]+$
with
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^[^.]+\.[^.]+\.[^.]+$
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]
For Https
RewriteCond %{HTTPS}s ^on(s)|
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http%1://www.%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]
The following example works on both ssl and non-ssl and is much faster as you use just one rule to manage http and https
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.
RewriteCond %{HTTPS}s on(s)|offs()
RewriteRule ^ http%1://www.%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [NE,L,R]
[Tested]
This will redirect
http
http://example.com
to
http://www.example.com
https
https://example.com
to
https://www.example.com
Try this, I used it in many websites, it works perfectly
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^bewebdeveloper.com$
RewriteRule ^(.*) http://www.bewebdeveloper.com/$1 [QSA,L,R=301]
I have tested all the above solutions but not working for me, i have tried to remove the http:// and won't redirect also removed the www it redirect well, so i get confused, specially i am running all my sites under https://
So i have combined some codes together and came up with perfect solution for both http:// and https:// and www and non-www.
# HTTPS forced
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{SERVER_NAME}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]
# Redirect to www
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]
</IfModule>
Hope this can help someone :)
Add the following code in .htaccess file.
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]
URLs redirect tutorial can be found from here - Redirect non-www to www & HTTP to HTTPS using .htaccess file
This configuration worked for me in bitnami wordpress with SSL configured :
Added the below under "RewriteEngine On" in file /opt/bitnami/apps/wordpress/conf/httpd-app.conf
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} .
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\. [NC]
RewriteRule ^ http%{ENV:protossl}://www.%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !on
RewriteRule ^ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.domain\.com [NC]
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.domain.com/$1 [L,R=301]
This will redirect your domain which is not started with WWW
It is not redirect your all sub domain.
It is useful.
I believe the top answer successfully redirects non-www to www (ex: mysite.com -> www.mysite.com), but doesn't take into account wildcard subdomains, which results in:
random.mysite.com -> www.random.mysite.com
Here's a solution with/without HTTPS
HTTP
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !www.mysite.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http%{ENV:protossl}://www.mysite.com/$1 [L,R=301]
HTTP/HTTPS
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} =on
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ - [env=protocol:https]
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ - [env=protocol:http]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !www.mysite.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ %{ENV:protocol}://www.mysite.com/$1 [L,R=301]
*note: I haven't tested https because I don't currently have a cert to test, but if someone can verify or optimize what I have that would be awesome.
Two warnings
Avoid 301 and prefer modern 303 or 307 response status codes.
Avoid 301
Think carefully if you really need the permanent redirect indicated as [R=301] because if you decide to change it later, then the previous visitors of the page will continue to see the page of the original redirection.
The permanent redirection information is frequently stored in the browser's cache and, in general, it is difficult to eliminate (reload the page do not solve the problem). Your website visitors will be stuck in the previous redirect "forever".
Avoid 302 too
The new version of the HTTP protocol (v1.1) added two new response status codes that can be used instead of 302.
303 URL redirection but demanding to change the type of request to
GET.
307 URL Redirection but demanding to keep the type of request as initially sent.
You can still use the code 302 (non-permanent redirection) although it is considered ambiguous. In any case, most browsers implement 302 in the same way the new 303 code instructs.
If possible, add this to the main Apache configuration file. It is a lighter-weight solution, less processing required.
<VirtualHost 64.65.66.67>
ServerName example.com
Redirect permanent / http://www.example.com/
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost 64.65.66.67>
ServerAdmin me#example.com
ServerName www.example.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/example
.
.
. etc
So, the separate VirtualHost for "example.com" captures those requests and then permanently redirects them to your main VirtualHost. So there's no REGEX parsing with every request, and your client browsers will cache the redirect so they'll never (or rarely) request the "wrong" url again, saving you on server load.
Note, the trailing slash in Redirect permanent / http://www.example.com/.
Without it, a redirect from example.com/asdf would redirect to http://www.example.comasdf instead of http://www.example.com/asdf.
Write in .htaccess :)
## Redirect from non-www to www (remove the two lines below to enable)
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\. [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]
Can anyone please help me to stop https redirect for a particular url, htacces is being used by multiple parked domain so i am using https for my primary domain only eg.("www.domain.com") Please find my current .htaccess
#ssl
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.domain\.com [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.domain.com/$1 [L,R=301]
I want below url to not redirect on https
https://www.domain.com/setup/abc/{ID}
https://www.domain.com/setup/abc
etc..
basically i want urls not to redirect which are including /setup/.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.domain\.com [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule ^((?!^setup/).*)$ https://www.domain.com/$1 [L,R=301]
That should do the trick.
