I need to rewrite http://www.example.com and http://example.com to
https://www.example.com.
An additional complexity is that these URLs are not pointing to the index file, but to the /folder. i.e. https://www.example.com really points to /var/www/html/folder, without showing https://www.example.com/folder in the URL bar.
I had previously managed to attain the second part with
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} www.example.com [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^example.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ folder/$1 [L]
and I know that the first part can be attained with something like this:
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} ^80$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{SERVER_NAME}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R]
but somehow I just can't get both of them to work together because I'm not familiar with htaccess. Thanks in advance!
You can have a single rule to add www and http -> https redirection and then have your rewrite rule for folder forward:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\. [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(?:www\.)?(.+)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^ https://www.%1%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L,NE]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(?:www\.)?example\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(?!folder/)(.*)$ folder/$1 [L,NC]

I'm new to editing htaccess files. What I want to do is:
rewrite/redirect specific subdomains eg subdomain1, subdomain2, etc from:
https://www.subdomain.example.com
http://www.subdomain.example.com
http://subdomain.example.com
To:
https://subdomain.example.com
I've pieced the below code together from other questions, but it doesn't seem to be working.
Can anyone explain what I'm doing wrong and help me fix the code.
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !on
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} ^80$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^subdomain\.example\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule .? https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]
To canonicalise ("redirect") only the specific subdomain ...
https://www.subdomain.example.com
http://www.subdomain.example.com
http://subdomain.example.com
To:
https://subdomain.example.com
You would need to do it something like this near the top of your .htaccess file:
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\. [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(?:www\.)?(subdomain\.example\.com) [NC]
RewriteRule ^ https://%1%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]
The 3rd condition ensures that it only applies to the specific subdomain.
To make this apply to several subdomains (assuming the no-www is canonical for all subdomains) then you could modify just the 3rd condition to identify the subdomains that it should apply to. For example:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(?:www\.)?((?:subdomain1|subdomain2|subdomain3)\.example\.com) [NC]
Test with a 302 (temporary) redirect to avoid potential caching issues. You will need to clear your browser cache before testing.
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !on
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} ^80$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^subdomain\.example\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule .? https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]
This is along the right lines, but it fails to target HTTPS or the www sub-subdomain. Also, checking %{HTTPS} !on and %{SERVER_PORT} ^80$ are really the same thing.
You can use the following :
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(?:www\.)?(.+) [NC]
RewriteRule ^ https://%1%{REQUEST_URI} [R,L]
This will redirect all subdomains from http://www to https:// .
For the subdomain.example.com you can use the following :
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^subdomain\.example\.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^ https://subdomain.example.com%{REQUEST_URI} [R,L]
I couldn't find a question that answered mine, or maybe I couldn't search using the right terms, but come on. I have the following rule in my htaccess:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^domain\.com\.br$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.domain\.com\.br$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ "https\:\/\/www\.domain\.com\.br\/site" [R=301,L]
This works when the user enters only the URL (domain.com.br or www.domain.com.br), but I need it to redirect when the user accesses this way:
domain.com.br or www.domain.com.br --> https://www.domain.com.br/site
domain.com.br/XXX --> https://www.domain.com.br/XXX
What rule should I use for this?
Update: the server already has a default rule to force SSL, in which case it is unnecessary to put it in htaccess
Rule update:
**On virtual host:**
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
RewriteCond %{HTTP:X-Forwarded-Proto} !https [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\. [NC]
RewriteRule ^ https://www.%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
**On htaccess file:**
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^domain\.com\.br$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.domain\.com\.br$
RewriteRule ^/?$ https://www.domain.com.br/site/ [R=301,L]
Your code generates a redirect loop. Also, you don't need to escape slashes on targets.
You could merge everything inside your virtual host block (faster than using a htaccess):
RewriteEngine On
# force https
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off [NC]
RewriteRule ^ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]
# force www
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\. [NC]
RewriteRule ^ https://www.%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]
# redirect root directory to /site/
RewriteRule ^/?$ /site/ [R=301,L]
Of course, you will see a redirect chain for e.g. http://domain.tld/ as it will first redirect to https://domain.tld/ then to https://www.domain.tld/ and finally to https://www.domain/tld/site/. This is fine. However, if you really want to handle everything with only one redirect, you could. But, it will be less generic.
For instance, you would end up with those rules:
RewriteEngine On
# force root directory to /site/ (https+www)
RewriteRule ^/?$ https://www.domain.com.br/site/ [R=301,L]
# force any other pages to https+www if not the case already
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\. [NC]
RewriteRule ^ https://www.domain.com.br%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]
In my .htaccess file, I have the below.
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !on [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.example\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^ https://www.example.com%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301]
This works fine until someone goes to http://www.example.com/test because that does not force a redirect to https.
Is there a better way of doing this?
Yes, change your last two lines to:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^(www\.example\.com|)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.example.com/$1 [R=301,L]
I searched before posting this but couldn't find a topic that fits my needs. My site is https only and I want to always redirect any request of https://domain.com to https://www.domain.com .. EXCEPT when somebody accesses https://username.domain.com then I need it redirected to https://www.domain.com/user?username=...
Right now I have it like this:
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?domain\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^.* https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(.*?)\.(www\.)?domain\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^.*$ https://www.domain.com/user?username=%1 [L,QSA]
But it's not working with the non-www redirect to www. What part do I need to change and how?
I checked the other answer but it doesn't work as soon as I add the /user? rule...
You can have your rules as this:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\. [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule ^ https://www.domain.com%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\. [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^([^.]+)\.domain\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^ https://www.domain.com/user?username=%1 [L,QSA,R=302]
I am running wildcard subdomains. the aim of the site is to run a virtual subdomain. what the functionality should be is that when the files
from the main site are called they will be rewritten for the clean URLs. But when i am calling the same files form the subdomain
like xyz.doamin.com/my-file.php then this should be rewritten like it is calling that file with an argument of subdoamin like
domain.com/my-file.php?var=xyz. Currently what i have done for the file call is this
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
## Redirecting all non-www domains to www.domain.com
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^domain.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.domain.com/$1 [R=301,NC,L]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.domain\.com$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(.*)\.domain\.com$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.domain.com%{REQUEST_URI}?var=%1 [L]

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(.*)\.domain\.com$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^$

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.domain\.com$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(.*)\.domain\.com$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} !^$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.domain.com%{REQUEST_URI}?%{QUERY_STRING}&subdomain=%1 [L]
This is throwing a 500 internal error for the file call.
Rule set 4 will overlap with rule set 1 and 2. I suspect this is causing the issue.
So I think all 3 need an extra RewriteCond check on REQUEST_URI.
Really you shouldn't need rule set 4. Just including index.php as a default should do the trick. Unless of course you don't want URL's like http://www.domain.com/?var=xyz, in this case you need rule 4, but you need to split it into 2 - one with a QUERY_STRING and one without, just like rule 1 and 2
Also, isn't %1 from the regex in the rewriteRule itself and not the preceeding rewriteConds? If so then your regex is wrong, because it'll be setting the var= to the entire original URL.
Looking in the error log is a good idea as it will give you the reason for the 500 error.
Edit: Ok, try something like this (not tested)

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^domain.com [NC]
