Hi after 1 week of research i'm still stuck with my domain redirections
I want my http://domain.fr pointing to https://www.domain.fr
I'm trying with htaccess file with no success...
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.*
RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]
When i'm testing my redirections it seems https://www.domain.fr is redirecting itself without understading why...
have you guys any idea ?
The problem is in your 2nd RewriteRule
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.*
RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]
You rule does a permanent redirection of www domain to the same location ie : ( www.e ample.com => www.example.com ) that is why you got the redirect loop error.
To redirect http urls to https ,first of all you need to check if the request scheme is http. You can use RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off to check the non - secure http connection and then use RewriteRule to redirect the request to https .
Use the following simple Rule to redirect http to https :
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.example.com/$1 [L,R=301]
Make sure to clear your browser cache before testing this.
I want to achieve that if a user write:
http://www.example.com/url/index.html
http://www.example.com/url/
https://example.com/url/index.html
https://example.com/url/
will be always redirect to:
https://www.example.com/url/
So I write this redirect istruction in .htaccess (I'm not an expert of this so I think it could be here the problem) and it seems to work:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{ENV:HTTPS} off
RewriteRule .* https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301,NE]
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\. [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^index\.html$ / [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^(.*)/index\.html$ /$1/ [R=301,L]
The problem is that from some SEO tools it seems that it make the work in more than 1 redirection. Infact I think that if the user look for:
http://example.com/url/
it redirects to
https://example.com/url/
after to
https://www.example.com/url/
How can I change the previuos code to make it better and make everything with 1 redirection?
Thanks
You can shorten your http to https redirect rules. Instead of using two separate rules for http and htttps://www you can just use a single rewrite rule that will handle both in one redirection .
RewriteEngine on
# http to https and non-www to www
RewriteCond %{ENV:HTTPS} off [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(?:www\.)?(.+)$
RewriteRule ^.*$ https://www.%1%{REQUEST_URI} [NE,R=301,L]
# remove index.html
RewriteRule ^(.*)\.index\.html$ /$1 [L,R=301]
Clear your browser cache before testing this htaccess.
For a long time we have had our site running without www in front, but we have recently been forced to make a change.
We recently changed from domainhere.com to www.domainhere.com. We already had a redirect from http to https, but need to change the redirect from https://domainhere.com to https://www.domainhere.com.
We used this code. How do we make it still redirect to HTTPS but with www in front?
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 80
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.skarpeknive.dk/$1 [R,L]
We found this on Stackoverflow, but it doesn't seem to work. The site bugs on domainhere.com then
#First rewrite any request to the wrong domain to use the correct one (here www.)
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ 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]
Maybe there is proxy issue so,try this :
RewriteCond %{HTTP:X-Forwarded-Proto} !https [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\. [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
Note: clear browser cache then test
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}/$1 [R=301,L]
I am coding a website that uses SSL for most of the website.
At the moment I'm using a htaccess rule to add www to the URL, see the rule below:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^bettingproperties.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.bettingproperties.com/$1 [L,R=301]
How can I make it so that it will detect https and do the same also.
Try this, which should switch SSL traffic to regular HTTP:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} ^443$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.bettingproperties.com/$1 [L,R=301]
I found out that I can do this just by using the following.
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^bettingproperties.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.bettingproperties.com/$1 [L,R=301]
Thanks for the help.
