I made the switch of my website from http to https. Now, I want to 301 redirect all http content to https.
I want to use this rule:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]
The issue is I also have another rule already in place which redirects all non-www pages to www ones.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^example.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*) http://www.example.com/$1 [last,redirect=301]
How can I combine it so whatever link users write (http non-www ; http www ; https non-www) all redirect to https://www.example.com
Cheers!
You can use this single rule to add www and http->https in single rule:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\. [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(?:www\.)?(.+)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^ https://www.%1%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L,NE]
This rule should be kept just below RewriteEngine line and make sure to clear your browser cache when testing this change.

I'm trying to add a single subdomain to an existing website. We've added the appropriate 'A' record. We want staging.example.com to display the contents from example.com/test/ (and remain staging.example.com).
The .htaccess file (written by someone else) redirects all non-https to https, and all non-www to www:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
#Rewrite http to https
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L]
#Rewrite non-www to www
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.(.+)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www\.%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]
I tried to add a line like the following, just before the last RewriteRule:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^staging\.(.+)$ [NC]
However, it always gets in a redirect loop to www.staging.example.com ...
Suggestions much appreciated.
This is because you are directing BACK to HTTP with your WWW redirect. Change it to https:
EDIT
I would also invert your statments .. This is EXACTLY what I use -- And I can verify it works for me:
RewriteEngine On
# to www
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\. [NC]
RewriteRule ^ https://www.%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
# to https
RewriteCond %{HTTP:X-Forwarded-Proto} !https
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule ^ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
I created redirect from non-www and www http request to https and www request that was quite easy. I used following rules in .htaccess
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI}$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI}$1
But now the problem is when someone enters old non-secure url like domain and project-about.html at the end .htaccess redirect to https but adds request at the end again so the request after the domain look like:
/project-about.htmlproject-about.html
How can I fix it? Thanks
Change it to this:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.
RewriteRule ^ https://www.%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule ^ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]
Use this:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\. [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
RewriteRule ^ https://www.example.com%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L,NE]
This method removes the need for an extra RewriteRule also, helping to speed up your website.
Make sure you clear your cache before testing this.
I am trying to achieve something which is working 99%, but there is a tiny issue.
Let's say my live URL is https://www.example.com/sample-page/
I want all the following URL variations to redirect to the live URL with a 301 status.
http://example.com/sample-page/
http://www.example.com/sample-page/
https://example.com/sample-page/
All of the above should redirect to https://www.example.com/sample-page/
I managed to get this working by using the htaccess rule displayed below.
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.(.*)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
The problem with the above rule is this: http://example.com/sample-page/ does a double redirect.
http://eyeacademy.com/expert-eye-examination/
301 Moved Permanently
https://eyeacademy.com/expert-eye-examination/
301 Moved Permanently
https://www.eyeacademy.com/expert-eye-examination/
200 OK
As you can see, http redirects to https and then https non-www redirects to https www. I have been trying a few tweaks to this rule and reading up, but I am sure someone here would have a quicker and more robust solution?
You can use this single rule to redirect http -> https and add www and there is no need to hardcode host name in the rule:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\. [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(?:www\.)?(.+)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^ https://www.%1%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301,NE]
You can also reorder your existing rules and avoid multiple redirects like this:
# first add www and make sure it is https://
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\. [NC]
RewriteRule ^ https://www.%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301,NE]
# http -> https
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule ^ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301,NE]
Use an or flag in your RewriteCond directive. Replace everything with the following:
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\. [NC]
RewriteRule ^ https://www.example.com%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
I currently have this in my .htaccess file
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.(.*)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://%1/$1 [R=301,L]
This ensures all http://www.example.com is redirected to http://example.com
I would like to implement an SSL certificate and I found this is the rewrite rule I must use for http to redirect to https.
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI}
How could I merge the HTTPS condition with my current condition so that
http://www.example.com redirects to https://example.com
http://example.com redirects to https://example.com
If it is not possible to merge this, can I just have those two code snippets one after another?
Thanks in advance.
Yes, you can use them one after another. I'd also save your users a redirect by having your first set of rules send them straight to HTTPS.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.(.*)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%1/$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]
I am redirecting an application with following code on my .htaccess file, the page is supposed to do the followings:
replace .php extension with .html
redirect from http to https
redirect from www to non-www urls
The extension .html is working fine and it is redirecting from http to https but the issue is to redirect from www to non-www, it is working properly on main url but when there is reference to a file then it is not working.
Say when i write www.ntestechnologies.com i get my desire url that is https://ntestechnologies.com but when i write www.ntestechnologies.com/index.html i get this https://www.ntestechnologies.com/index.html i don't need the www in this url as well please guide me, here is the code on htaccess file:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI}
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.ntestechnologies\.com$
RewriteRule ^/?$ "https\:\/\/ntestechnologies\.com\/$1" [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^(.*)\.html$ $1.php [nc]
You need only one RewriteEngine On.
You cannot use HTTP_HOST or REQUEST_URI in a RewriteRule. If you need to capture these values, you must do so in a RewriteCond
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(?:www\.)(.+)
RewriteRule .* https://%1/$0 [R,L]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.(.+)
RewriteRule .* https://%1/$0 [R,L]
This removes the leading www, if present. At the same time, it redirects to HTTPS.
RewriteEngine On
# Redirects from HTTP to HTTPS. We use %{SERVER_PORT} as it's more reliable than %{HTTPS}
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} !^443$
RewriteRule .* https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R,L]
# Redirects www.example.com/... to example.com/...
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.(.+)
RewriteRule .* https://%1%{REQUEST_URI} [R,L]
RewriteRule ^(.*)\.html$ $1.php [nc]
