Per Amazon's Lightsail Troubleshooting I'm trying to update my htaccess to ignore a specific file during the HTTPS redirecting. However, it doesn't seem to be ignoring it.
What I want to happen is, if the user visits http://example.com/health-checker.html they aren't redirected to the HTTPs version. However, if they visit anything else they are redirected to the HTTPs version.
When I use the below code, they are still directed to the HTTPS version. To test if it was a browser caching issue, I used a different file name and still same problem.
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 80
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^example\.com [NC]
RewriteCond expr "! %{REQUEST_URI} -strmatch '*health-checker.html'"
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{SERVER_NAME}/$1 [R=301,L]
Please note that I'm hard coding my domain name intentionally due to dealing with multiple domain names.
Your assistance is appreciated
You don't really need expr here, you can just use regular RewriteCond with negation like this:
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 80
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^example\.com [NC]
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} !/health-checker\.html [NC]
RewriteRule ^ https://%{SERVER_NAME}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L,NE]

I start reading about a similar topic at this page .htaccess - how to force "www." in a generic way? and the solution was not, well almost what I am looking to do.
The problem : I need the user to be on HTTPS and on WWW to make my application working properly. But if some one click on a html link like:
www.example.com
The user will fall on my website with this :
https://www.www.example.com/
Here is my current .htaccess file.
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
RewriteRule ^/?(.*) https://www.%{SERVER_NAME}/$1 [R=301,L]
</IfModule>
Is there any way to detect that the user already entered the WWW or is there a best practice to get the result I am looking for?
Thank you.
You are getting this behavior because http -> https rule is adding www\. in target URL without checking if URL is already starting with www.
You should replace both of your rules with this single rule and as a bonus avoid multiple redirects:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\. [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(?:www\.)?(.+)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^ https://www.%1%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L,NE]
I have multiple domains that end with .nl .com and .de. For each domain name I have a different language. My files are on the .nl domain. What I would like is the following for all domains:
Redirect http://* to https://*
Redirect http://example.* to https://www.example.*
I Have the files on 1 server, and want them to look like it is on 3.
This is what I have on the main server (.NL)
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !www.example.nl$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.example.nl/$1 [L,R=301]
And this for the .DE
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.example.de/$1 [L,R=301]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !www.example.de$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.example.de/$1 [L,R=301]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.example.nl/$1 [P]
And this for the .COM
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.example.com/$1 [L,R=301]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !www.example.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.example.com/$1 [L,R=301]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.example.nl/$1 [P]
I've tried everything, but I could not figure it out.
# This rule will redirect users from their original location, to the same location but using HTTPS.
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
RewriteRule ^/?(.*) https://www.example.nl/$1 [R=301,L]
#primary site redirect
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.example\.nl [NC]
RewriteRule (.*) https://www.example.nl/$1 [R=301,L]
I believe that's all that's required, as you can see, you first redirect ALL requests that are not https to https example.nl, then you redirect anything that is NOT www.example.nl to https://www.example.nl
If I'm guessing wrong about what you need with [P] you can just replace I think [R=301,L] with [P], though I've never dealt with that configuration so I can't say for sure, but it's easy to test.
https://wiki.apache.org/httpd/RewriteHTTPToHTTPS
this is more or less what we use for https. I think you're getting confused and not realizing that all you need to know is that something is NOT example.nl/$1, there's no need to list all those nots, since all of them are not example.nl/$1
Note the following, which are all NOT the second rule, all will get redirected:
https://example.nl
https://www.example.com
https://example.de
https://www.example.de
Since these are all not:
https://www.example.nl
they get redirected. (.*) means everything, including /.
There's a subtle thing that you need to be aware of with https, you have to have a certificate for ALL versions of all the domains, that's www/non www, or you get those browser alert popups for any initial domain/subdomain that does not have certificate support when the page initially loads. For example, if you don't have a certificate for example.com but you have one for www.example.com if a url comes in: http://example.com you'll get that browser alert, which is very bad for usability and makes it look like it's a scammer site.
I can't remember the exact ordering of processing, but I think that's how it works.
Hello i try to redirect all my top level domains to another one and this is already working but i also want to force https. With the following code it is working fine for all top level domains such as '.de', '.net' and so on.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^(www\.)?domain\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*) https://domain.com/$1 [R=301,NE,L]
My problem is i also want to force https for my main tld => '.com'
Well, and here we are:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond (http://) !^(www\.)?domain\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*) https://domain.com/$1 [R=301,NE,L]
For my bad, this is not working. I get an 'Too many redirects' error. My question is now is it the code/redirection or is there something else wrong maybe with the server configuration of my provider? I noticed the 'Too many redirects' error in any way i tried till now for redirect from 'http://' to 'https://' and i tried so many different ways... .
Try:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^(www\.)?domain\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*) https://domain.com/$1 [R=301,NE,L]
Adds an "or" condition so that it redirects if there's no HTTPS OR if the domain is different.
The (http://) isn't a variable, it's a literal "http://", which will obviously never match ^(www\.)?domain\.com$, which is why that condition is always true.
Since you're using cloudflare, which internally routes requests (that are not HTTPS), you can't use the %{HTTPS} variable, you need to look at the forwarding protocol:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP:X-Forwarded-Proto} !https [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^(www\.)?domain\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*) https://domain.com/$1 [R=301,NE,L]
I am no htaccess expert, but after Googling for two hours I gave up. Maybe you can help me?
I have my entire site on SSL. However, I have two pages that reference non-secure dynamic content from elsewhere. I need these to be on http instead of https.
The first part of my rules work. All the site is forced to SSL except for those two pages. However, the last part doesn't: force those two pages to non-SSL. It is probably very stupid but does anyone see where I go wrong?
#add www. if missing WORKS
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^[^.]+\.[^.]+$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [L,R=301]
#force SSL/https WORKS
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/webshop2/localize\.php
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/webshop2/layoutstripper\.php
RewriteRule ^ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
#force http DOES NOT WORK
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/webshop2/localize\.php [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/webshop2/layoutstripper\.php [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
You need an [OR] flag in your second SSL rule. The 2 conditions you have essentially say:
the request must be HTTPS
the URI must start with: /webshop2/localize.php
the URI must start with: /webshop2/layoutstripper.php
As you can see, the last 2 conditions will always fail, as the request can't be BOTH at the same time. If you add an [OR] flag in there, it makes it true if the URI is one or the other:
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/webshop2/localize\.php [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/webshop2/layoutstripper\.php [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
I am trying to migrate one domain to a new domain as well as force everything to https.
I have tried a few iterations using .htaccess with no luck.
One thing I tried was:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !newsite.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.newsite.com/$1 [L,R=301]
This redirects everything except the oldsite https links.
Also have tried other options like:
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(.+)\.oldsite.com\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule (.*) https://newsite.com/$1 [L,R=301,QSA]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !newsite.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.newsite.com/$1 [L,R=301]
Also with no luck.
I imagine I am missing something quite simple...any tips would be appreciated!
Besides unescaped . character, your initial attempt is correct. To redirect one domain to another and switch to HTTPS connection, considering that there are other sites pointing to the same document root:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !newsite\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule (.*) https://www.newsite.com/$1 [R=301,L]
UPDATE:
Although the rule above is correct, redirection from https://www.oldsite.com to https://www.newsite.com didn't occur for original poster because newsite.com didn't have a valid certificate.
