.htaccess remove index.php remove www. force https - .htaccess

I understand this is not necessarily an EE specific question, but it involves the classic EE removal of index.php from the URL as well as a couple more specific rewrites. It’s also a lazy question, as I’ve tried a few rewrite rule combinations and there are errors… so, what I’m after is (please).
Remove www.
Force https://
Remove index.php
The important note, is that on an (mt) Media Temple server when testing on subdomains such as dev.domain.com the good old multiple redirects problem is kicking in. Ideally there’s a way for one .htaccess file to rule them all. Many thanks in advance.

# Enable Rewrite Engine
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
# Force https
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
RewriteRule ^ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
# Remove the www
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.(.+)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://%1/$1 [R=301,L]
#Remove index.php
#strip index.php from the URL if that is all that is given
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,9}\ /([^/]+/)*index\.php\ HTTP/
RewriteRule ^(([^/]+/)*)index\.php$ http://%{HTTP_HOST}/ [R=301,NS,L,QSA]
#strip index.php/* from the URL
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[^/]*/index\.php/ [NC]
RewriteRule ^index\.php/(.+) http://%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L,QSA]
# EE
#rewrite all non-image/js/css urls back to index.php if they are not files or directories
RewriteCond $1 !^(images|templates|themes)/ [NC]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/$1 [L,QSA]

What worked for me (excluding the index.php part, only for removing WWW and forcing HTTPS), was this:
# Enable Rewrite Engine
RewriteEngine On
# Remove the www
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.(.+)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%1/$1 [R=301,L]
# Force https, specify http_host
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^example\.com$
RewriteRule ^ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
#-----the following part is untested, but should work to answer the full quesiton including the index.php part
#Remove index.php
#strip index.php from the URL if that is all that is given
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,9}\ /([^/]+/)*index\.php\ HTTP/
RewriteRule ^(([^/]+/)*)index\.php$ http://%{HTTP_HOST}/ [R=301,NS,L,QSA]
#strip index.php/* from the URL
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[^/]*/index\.php/ [NC]
RewriteRule ^index\.php/(.+) http://%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L,QSA]
# EE

Matching a question mark in .htaccess

I'm trying to set up some 301 redirects for old Kayako helpdesk URL's. The old URL's were;
example.com/index.php?/rest_of_url
I've set up rewriting so the URL's are prettier example.com/rest_of_url, and I'm trying to 301 redirect all old URL's to new. I've tried the following but they don't appear to work;
RewriteRule ^index.php?/(.*)?$ /$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^index.php\?/(.*)?$ /$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^index.(.*)/(.*)?$ /$2 [R=301,L]
I can't quite figure it out.
EDIT:
Here is the whole .htaccess file
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule .* https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^/(.*)$
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ /%1? [R=302,L]
RewriteCond $1 !^(admin|api|console|favicon\.ico|robots\.txt|sitemap\.xml|index\.php|tiny_mce_gzip\.php|cron|onsite|staff|rss|setup|visitor|winapp|wallboard|__swift) [NC]
RewriteCond $1 !\.(jpg|jpeg|png|gif|js|css|htm|html)$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?/$1 [L]
RewriteCond $1 !^(favicon\.ico|robots\.txt|sitemap\.xml|index\.php|tiny_mce_gzip\.php|__swift) [NC]
RewriteCond $1 !\.(jpg|jpeg|png|gif|js|css|htm|html)$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9]*)/(.*)$ $1/index.php?/$2 [L]
</IfModule>
The part after the question mark is not in the RewriteRule url.
You have to use %{QUERY_STRING}:
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^/(.*)$
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ /%1? [R=301,L]
%1is the first (.*) in the last RewriteCond.
In your case, without loop, use:
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} \s/+index\.php\?([^\s&]+) [NC]
RewriteRule ^ /%1? [R=302,L,NE]

How can I modify my .htaccess to remove www from url's

My .htaccess is removing index.php and also forcing https at the moment, how can I modify it to remove www from url since urls with www are causing my ssl certificate to fail.
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L]
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{SERVER_NAME}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301]
<IfModule mod_php5.c>
php_extension openssl.so
</IfModule>
replace this:
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{SERVER_NAME}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301]
with:
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.example.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://example.com%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301]
Replacing "example.com" with your servername.
Add this after your last rewrite
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.%{SERVER_NAME}$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{SERVER_NAME}/$1 [R=301,L]

Codeigniter .htaccess file for SSL inserts index.php

I'm using the following .htaccess file to redirect certain pages to https://
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} (sale|success|cancel)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301]
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(static|sale|success|cancel)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301]
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|resources|robots\.txt|static)
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L,QSA]
This works, except that when you go to the page that gets rewritten to https:// it also inserts index.php in the URL. Everything works fine, but I would like that index.php not to be inserted. Any ideas?
Thanks.
You are missing L flag from your top 2 rules.
You can use this code:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} (sale|success|cancel) [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(static|sale|success|cancel) [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|resources|robots\.txt|static) [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L,QSA]
<Directory "/home/test">
Require all granted
***AllowOverride All***
SSLOptions +StdEnvVars
</Directory>
After adding "AllowOverride All" in your apache configuration, it will work properly.

Removing html extentions and add trailing slash to files on all directories without affecting internal urls

I am using the code in below to redirect index.html and non-www version of URL to www. It also removes *.html extensions from the files. Now, I would like to add a trailing slash at the end of the files across all directories. Following are the examples of what I want to get:
www.mydomain.com.au/contact.html goes to www.mydomain.com.au/contact/
www.mydomain.com.au/contact goes to www.mydomain.com.au/contact/
www.mydomain.com.au/glass-replacement/Brisbane.html goes to
/glass-replacement/Brisbane/
and so forth...
RewriteEngine On

RewriteRule ^(.+)\.html$ /$1 [R=301,L]

Thanks for your help in advance
Try this:

RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^.*\/index\.html\ HTTP/
RewriteRule ^(.*)index\.html$ /$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{http_host} ^glassnow.com.au$ [nc]

https in htaccess and order of rules (using Expression Engine)

I'm building a site in expression engine that part of needs to be https. The site is also using a new domain name (new one www.example-new.com the old one www.example.old.com).
I want to do the following things:
remove the index.php
force www
force https for any url starting www.example.old.com/extranet
redirect https URLs that are not www.example.old.com/extranet (e.g. www.example.old.com/news to http
I have the following code so far that works for the first two requirements:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
# Force www
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^example-new.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.example-new.com/$1 [R=301,L]
# Removes index.php
RewriteCond $1 !\.(gif|jpe?g|png)$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/$1 [L]
</IfModule>
AddType x-httpd-php53 .php
I seem to be going round in circles, so I've two questions that will help me write the other rewrites (although feel free to share suggestions...):
1) Should the code for requirements 3 and 4 be positioned before "removes index.php" code?
2) Does the position have any bearing on the redirects that will be coming from the old site e.g. www.example-old.com/some-link-here.asp will be redirected to www.example-new.com/some-new-link-here
Thanks,
Gregor
1) Remove 'index.php' from ExpressionEngine URLs
RewriteCond $1 !\.(gif|jpe?g|png)$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/$1 [L]
2) Add 'www' to all URIs
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.(.*)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]
3) Force https:// for any URI starting with /extranet
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/extranet(.*)$ [NC]
RewriteRule . https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI}$1 [R=301,L]
4) Redirect https:// URIs that are not /extranet
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/extranet(.*)$ [NC]
RewriteRule . http://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI}$1 [R=301,L]
Putting it all together, here's your complete set of RewriteRules:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.(.*)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/extranet(.*)$ [NC]
RewriteRule . https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI}$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/extranet(.*)$ [NC]
RewriteRule . http://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI}$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteCond $1 !\.(gif|jpe?g|png)$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/$1 [L]
</IfModule>
1) Should the code for requirements 3 and 4 be positioned before "removes index.php" code?
The rules are processed in the order that you write them. I expect that you want the site to redirect first then do the remove index, so yes, it should go before
2) Does the position have any bearing on the redirects that will be coming from the old site e.g. www.example-old.com/some-link-here.asp will be redirected to www.example-new.com/some-new-link-here
If you are using the same directory for both sites, then you would need to prefix all rules for one site with a RewriteCond that limits the domain. Otherwise, order of the rules (old vs new site) is important.
Your redirects from the old site should also incorporate rules in the new e.g. ensure that you are going to http/s as necessary to avoid extra redirects.
Below is the code to force http/s
#if not secure
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
#and starts with /extranet
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/extranet [NC]
#redirect to secure
RewriteRule . https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
#if secure
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} on
#and does not start with /extranet
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/extranet [NC]
#redirect to http
RewriteRule . http://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
# force www on hostname, but keep same protocol (http/https)
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.(.+)
RewriteCond %{HTTPS}s ^(on(s)|offs)
RewriteRule ^ http%2://www.%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
If it helps... I just did this yesterday for an ecommerce site... Here's my .htaccess file
# Remove WWW from URL
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.(.*)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]
# Add a trailing slash to paths without an extension
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(\.[a-zA-Z0-9]{1,5}|/)$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} !=POST
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1/ [L,R=301]
#remove index.php
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1
#Force HTTPS on checkout/account pages
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} (checkout|account)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{SERVER_NAME}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]
#remove HTTPS on all other pages
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(img|_|images|checkout|account)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://%{SERVER_NAME}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]
