Redirect traffic from www. to store. - apache

I am trying to make changes on .htaccess to redirect traffic that is in the form www.mysite.com/products/product_id or www.mysite.com/items/item_id to store.mysite.com/products/product_id or store.mysite.com/items/item_id

To redirect
mysite.com/products/*
mysite.com/items/*
to
store.mysite.com/products/*
store.mysite.com/items/*
You can use the following rule :
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?mysite\.com$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/(products|items) [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ http://store.mysite.com/$1 [NC,L,QSA,R]

Using multiple rewrite rules .htaccess

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.

HTACCESS 301 Redirect Rule to point all URL Variations to the Live URL

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]

htaccess http to https with www. Without redirecting sub domain

I have a RewriteRule that redirects my main domain to https://www.sta-games.com which works fine, but when I try to access my subdomain http://files.sta-games.com, it redirects to my main domain.
Heres my redirect rules
#HTTPS Redirection
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
Can anyone see the problem?
You need to adjust your rules so that it looks for the whole domain instead of just part of it. Right now you are only looking for the absence of www. So that is why your subdomain redirects.
First you need to combine your rules because it seems you want to redirect if https is not on and there is no www, so make that one rule. Then use your actual domain name in the rule. Replace example.com with your domain. This should fix your issue.
#HTTPS Redirection
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^(www\.)?example\.com
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.example.com%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
Have an additional skip condition for all domains except the main domain:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?sta-games\.com$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\. [NC]
RewriteRule ^ https://www.sta-games.com%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301,NE]
Test this after clearing your browser cache.

Redirect subdomain to main domain in Joomla

I need to redirect all subdomains of my website to the main domain starting with www:
I have tried to add this code to my .htaccess:
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^domain.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.domain.com/$1 [L,R=301]
but I have a redirect loop error.
What do you suggest?
Thanks
Your rule will indeed cause redirect loop. Have it like this:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\. [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [L,R=301,NE]
If you want demo.domain.com to be redirected to www.domain.com:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\. [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.domain.com/$1 [L,R=301,NE]
I'm using this code in my .htaccess file at the root directory of the domain or subdomain
Redirect all requests from subdomain:
Redirect / http://www.example.com/
Redirect all requests from folder sub on the domain to the subdomain:
Redirect /sub http://sub.example.com/

How to properly force HTTPS on specific pages using Apache

I would like to force my signup page to https, and allow all other pages to be browsed using https or http (e.g., http://www.example.com/signup should redirect to https://www.example.com/signup). I was able to force all pages to https, but cannot get only one page to redirect to https. The page just loads normally as http.
Here's the code I've been trying to use in my htaccess file:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 80
RewriteRule ^/signup(/.*)$ https://www.example.com/$1 [R=301,L]
For what it's worth (in case there is a conflict I'm unaware of), I am also using the following code to force all pages to redirect to www and to drop the .php from the file names in the URL:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^([a-z.]+)?example\.com$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\. [NC]
RewriteRule .? http://www.%1example.com%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}\.php -f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1.php?/$1
Any thoughts on what I'm doing wrong?
Have your https rule like this:
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} =80
RewriteRule ^(signup/?)$ https://www.example.com/$1 [R=301,L,NC]
Remember that there is no starting slash / in RewriteRule.
