I have a site that is getting a lot of traffic so performance is critical. I'm using apache and ubuntu.
I'm trying to redirect all possible domain possibilities to https://example.com including all subdomains (https://test.example.com).
Here is what I have currently:
RewriteEngine On
# match any URL with www and rewrite it to https without the www
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)(.*) [NC]
RewriteRule (.*) https://%2%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
# match urls that are non https (without the www)
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^(www\.)(.*) [NC]
RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
I feel like the above code is doing extra rerouting/work. Is there a more straight forward solution (for a faster performance) either in the virtual host file or .htaccess?
Thanks!
You can combine all three conditions
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^example\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^ https://example.com%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]
Explanation: if not https OR not example.com then redirect to https://example.com/xxx
To answer your question about performance: rewriting in .htaccess may be slower than rewriting in Apache config file.

I know this is a question that is asked several time. I tried several rules but redirection of https://example.com to https://www.example.com is not working.
My current redirection rule in the Apache vHost of non SSL is pasted below
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\. [NC]
RewriteRule ^ https://www.example.com%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L,NE
The above rule works fine for http://example.com and http://www.example.com
I find it. This needs to be added in the ssl vhost file.
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\. [NC]
RewriteRule ^ https://www.example.com%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L,NE]
My current redirection rule in the apache vHost of non SSL is pasted below
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\. [NC]
RewriteRule ^ https://www.example.com%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L,NE
You already have a solution, but as you have found, the above redirect will obviously only apply to HTTP requests when in the "vhost of non ssl". In this case, the HTTPS server variable is always "off" - so the first RewriteCond directive is entirely redundant.
However, you don't need mod_rewrite at all when redirecting from HTTP to HTTPS in the HTTP-virtualhost. A simple mod_alias Redirect will do the job much "better":
Redirect 301 / https://www.example.com/
I have a two websites
yourdomain.com
reseller.yourdomain.com
Now I want to forcing both domains to use https via apache htaccess redirect. In addition to that, the main domain should use always www instead of non-www. But the subdomain reseller.yourdomain.com shouldn't use www of course.
How should the redirect look like? I have tried so many things like
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !^on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^reseller\.yourdomain\.com [NC]
RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]
This works not 100%, the main domain redirects correctly to www and ssl, the ssl-redirect for the subomdain works only on reseller.yourdomain.com, not on sub-sites like reseller.yourdomain.com/single-page.
thanks!
Try it like this,
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^yourdomain.com
RewriteRule ^ https://www.%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301]
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(.+)\.yourdomain.com$
RewriteRule ^ https://%1.yourdomain.com [R=301,L]
After reading all relevant answers here regarding .htaccess and redirects, and some experimentation with .htaccess rewrite conditions and rules my problem persists.
I managed to force www and https for my Magento site. Here is what I have at the moment:
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule .* https://www.example.com%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.
RewriteRule .* https://www.example.com%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
After creating the subdomain test.example.com and a test environment at public_html/test/ I want to exclude it from the above rules since the subdomain will neither have a www of a https.
I tried to put this exception in the rules above but with no success.
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^test\.example\.com$
For example, when I type http://test.example.com/admin/ to enter the Magento admin, it redirects me to https://www.example.com/admin/ Do I have to also edit the public_html/test/.htaccess file ?
Thank you in advance
Yes, this is happening because of your Rules, the 2nd rule checks if the host value doesn't start with www the redirect the host to www.example.com this rule also redirects any non-www http host to the main domain with www.
To fix this, you can use a single rule to redirect http to https:www excluding the subdomain
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^test\.example\.com$
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(?:www\.)?(.+)$
RewriteRule ^ https://www.%1%{REQUEST_URI} [NE,L,R]
My requirements are as follows:
Certain pages of my site need to use https
The rest can use http
I also need to redirect everything to use a www. prefix (e.g., if someone visits domain.com it redirects to www.domain.com)
I've tried a number of solutions listed here on Stack Overflow, but none seems to work.
Here's the relevant portion of my htaccess file:
#force https for certain pages
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
RewriteRule ^(login2\-test\.php.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R]
#redirect all pages to www
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=off
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]
Redirecting all pages to www works fine. However, the redirect of login2-test?Switch=ftr (which is in the reg/ subdirectory) to https results in no match, so the page is displayed using http.
I've rewritten that line as follows:
RewriteRule ^(reg\/)(login2\-test\.php.*)$ https:www.domain.com/$1$2 [L,R]
This at least matched / redirected to https, however the browser could not resolve it.
I've swapped the order of the rules (e.g., www redirect first); that didn't help.
I would appreciate any help -- I've been struggling with this for a while now.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule .* https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\. [NC]
RewriteRule .* https://www.%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
I'm attempting to setup an SSL redirect in Apache using RewriteEngine that will do the following:
Redirect traffic to either http://mydomain.com or http://www.mydomain.com to use HTTPS
Redirect traffic to any other subdomain https://*.mydomain.com to use HTTP instead of HTTPS
My reasoning for this is that I'm developing a project that's using a free SSL certificate until launch. This certificate covers the base domain, but none of the wildcard subdomains, and it's a pain to need to bypass the warning every time I visit one of the subdomains.
Edit:
I believe I'm close here, but I still can't get the HTTPS to HTTP redirect to work properly.
RewriteEngine on
# Redirect domain and www to HTTPS
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} =mydomain.com [or]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} =www.mydomain.com
RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
# Redirect wildcard subdomains to HTTP
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(.+)\.mydomain\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule (.*) http://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
Figured it out. By moving these rules from the sites-available/default file to an .htaccess inside of the website root, I was able to get this working properly.
RewriteEngine on
# Redirect domain and www to HTTPS
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} =mydomain.com [or]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} =www.mydomain.com
RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
# Redirect wildcard subdomains to HTTP
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(.+)\.mydomain\.com$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !=www.mydomain.com
RewriteRule (.*) http://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
