I want to force all clients to use SSL to access an HTML file on my website. It is snipprintslive.html in my root folder: www.stellamays.co.uk/sniprintslive.html.
I’ve tried:
RewriteEngine On
#https
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} !^443$
RewriteRule ^sniprintslive https://stellamays.co.uk/sniprintslive [R=301,L]
This works for the rest of the site but access to sniprintslive.html gives “file not found” error.
I tried putting the page in a subfolder (nightmare for relative links but hey ho) and putting .htaccess file in the same folder.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 80
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} printsfolder/sniprintslive.html
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.stellamays.co.uk/printsfolder/sniprintslive.html$1 [R,L]
Again I received the same error.
I don't understand this programming language but wondered if it’s the www or http: stuff which is upsetting it.
Note that my server will work with .htaccess as I successfully forced the whole site to open with HTTPS using similar code.
fixed it with this...I was a bit scared of the code cos I didn't get to put my website in???!
but it worked perflectly
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} /sniprintslive.html
RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L]

After redirecting my client domain to my server i created rewrite rule in root folder .htaccess file to point domain to a subfolder1 (joomla website):
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?myclientdomain\.com$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !/subfolder/
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /subfolder1/$1 [L]
Everything worked fine but today i found out that i can access any other subfolder in my server by entering for example: myclientdomain.com/subfolder2 and what's worse google can index that and show it in search results.
If there is any way to redirect a domain in a way that I won't be able to access any other folder on my server?
I would really appreciate help as I searched throughout google for answer, my server tech support said that they don't really support these kind of problems (they only gave me a piece of code from above) and I don't really know anything about .htaccess rules and how it works.
Try this
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?myclientdomain\.com$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/subfolder\/?(.*)?$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /subfolder1/$1 [L]
Change above rule to:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?myclientdomain\.com$ [NC]
# if current URI is not starting with /subfolder/ then route to /subfolder/
RewriteRule ^((?!subfolder1/).*)$ subfolder1/$1 [L,NC]
I have two domains pointing to the same website, domain A and domain B. I want:
Domain A to be accessible via HTTP (works fine out of the box)
Domain B to redirect all requests to HTTPS. Basically if you type in http://domainb.com/somepage to redirect to http*s*://domainb.com/somepage. I would prefer to have this done via htaccess file.
I tried many solutions and I always get into redirection loop. Eg. I tried this:
RewriteCond %{SERVER_NAME} ^www\.domainb\.com$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{SERVER_NAME}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R]
....
rest of the standard typo3 htaccess commands.
My code was after typo3 be redirection part and before "Main URL rewriting" part in the htaccess file.
With code above I'm redirected to https but then "redirection loop" error is shown.
Any help is highly appreciated.
This works for me :)
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} domainb\.com$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]
I include this code right after this line with RewriteEngine On.
Try this:
RewriteRule ^http://www\.domainb\.com/(.*) https://www\.domainb\.com/$1 [R=301,L]
The only solution that worked for me was the following one:
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} !^443$
RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]
I have forced a ecommerce site to be always in https, due to some issues with having only specific urls triggered as secure. I have used the following in my .htaccess
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 80
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.vshoen.com/$1 [R,L]
But now my problem is all external links without www in the url open in https as well for some reason. Most of the time its not a problem but there are a few specific links that need to simply be http://url.com instead of http://www.url.com and for in this case they are not loading as its trying to open them as https://url.com
I was hoping there would be a resolution to this, this is a wordpress site if that makes any difference.
Thanks in advance.
Try this:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\. [NC]
RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,NC,L]
I run TYPO3 with a normal site and a subdomain in the same TYPO3 installation. On the normal site, automatically a mobile device is detected and then rerouted to the subdomain.
In my subdomain the visitor is redirected to the correct page in the TYPO3 tree, using following .htaccess file.
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{http_host} ^m.mysite.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://m.mysite.com/index.php?id=74 [L]
What happens is that the visitor ends up in an endless loop where he is sent to the TYPO3 site and then to the subdomain and back again.
To get this working, I also need to change the working directory to www.mysite.com (I also have another provider where I can make these changes using a cpanel, and that site runs perfectly). I have been looking everywhere and have tried almost anything, but I simply do not have enough knowledge to change the working directory.
So what code should I use to change the working directory?
Use RewriteCond to not follow this rule for index.php.
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{http_host} ^m.mysite.com [NC]
# Failing the index.php check, the usual test is to look for any
# existing file
# EDIT: Changed URI to start with / - should work per comments
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/index.php
#RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
#RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://m.mysite.com/index.php?id=74 [L]
I have been having a very difficult time editing my .htaccess file to do these three things together. I have been able to get each part separately but I just do not understand how the logic flow works to get them all to work.
This is the best I have been able to pull together using the demo at bluehost support
http://helpdesk.bluehost.com/index.php/kb/article/000347
I appreciate any help resolving this issue.

Update:
Well after a long time using the following I have run into issues.

New Issues.
Bluehost has an application that quickly installs and updates open source applications like wordpress, joomla, phpbb etc. Well apparently my new super .htaccess file completely breaks their system. The only way I can run updates and installs is to move the .htaccess to .htaccess.bak until the upgrade or install is complete. Then move it back.
I can't create any .htaccess on other sites that I host in other directories. e.g. I have a master account that I store in /www/site/ that this script forces requests into. Unfortunately my other sites stored in /www/site2/ and /www/site3/ don't work well. First I have to create a blank .htaccess to prevent it from pulling the .htaccess above found in /www/. For some reason if I try to do anything like force www.site2.com I get 500 error's saying I am forcing too many redirects.
I have a theory that my solution above needs to be a little more specific, to make sure it only effects request sent to example.com. (I think the line with anything not containing /site/ is a little to broad).
I appreciate any support resolving this. Would save me a bit of headaches!
Update II:
I do not believe I have access to apache config. Only option I see in cpanel is apache handlers (not really sure what that section does).
I will submit a ticket to see what location the simplescripts server runs from. I believe it runs from "https://www.simplescripts.com". What edit would you recommend I add to ignore this domain?
My host bluehost starts you with a primary account and then subdomains. The primary account's location is set at user\www. Unfortunatly this gets messy when you try to host multiple domains. That is why I use .htaccess to force requests that hit that directory into the \site\ directory. Thus trapping the primary site into the \site\ directory.
I think the relocation issue I was having with one of my subdomains was due to wordpress trying to force a domain without www and then me writing an .htaccess file forcing www. That caused the infinite loop, not my .htaccess file this thread is about. If I can resolve the simplescripts issue I am gmoney ;)
I'd think something like this would work
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^example\.com$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 80
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/folder/
RewriteRule (.*) https://www.example.com/folder/$1 [L,R]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^example\.com$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 80
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/folder/
RewriteRule (.*) https://www.example.com/$1 [L,R]
but I confess I haven't tested. You can add in all the don't redirect if the file exists, etc., if you want.
In case you haven't seen it, here is the mod_rewrite documentation.
edit:
In response to updated question:
The first thing I notice is that it appears you may have enough control over your setup to put the rewrites in the Apache config files (in the VirtualHost sections) instead of in htaccess files, that'll immediately solve your problem with your other sites.
The first problem, it sounds like you'll need to add RewriteCond to exclude whichever URLs the Bluehost software uses. Either that, or access the Bluehost software under a different VirtualHost (once you've put the rewrite stuff inside the VirtualHost blocks).
If you can't edit your Apache config, then the easiest fix for the other sites it to not make them a subdirectory (on the filesystem) of your main site. That's rather weird, anyway. Move your main site to a sub-directory of /www as well if need be.
Personally, I put all sites in /srv/www/com.site-name.www on my servers (that is, reverse order, with the top-level-domain first, it makes related stuff group together when sorted alphabetically. E.g., when you have www.example.com and static.example.com)
This seems to do everything I needed. Probably a shorter way to get this done but it works!
