I have enforced https access to the www directory and all subdirectories by rewrite rule in .htaccess -
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule (.*) https://%{SERVER_NAME}/%$1 [R,L]
However, I need http access to one specific folder /specific/folder/ which is under www directory. How can I do that with rewriting rule in .htaccess?
You just need one negative RewriteCond in your rule:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} !/specific/folder/ [NC]
RewriteRule ^ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=302,L,NE]

I am currently deploying a number of sites from one hosting account. I have all of the sites in their own folder including the primary domain. The issue I have is when I rewrite the primary domains address with my current code, it includes the subdirectory in it. So currently if I type in http://www.example.com/url it rewrites to https://example.com/folder/url. I just want it to rewrite without the folder.
Any ideas. I know I am complicating this by running my primary domain in a subdirectory, just trying to clean up hosting as best as possible.
In my public_html .htaccess file:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?example.com$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/folder/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /folder/$1
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?example.com$
RewriteRule ^(/)?$ folder/index.php [L]
and in public_html/folder .htaccess:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.example.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://example.com/$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R,L]
So currently if I type in http://www.site.whatever/url it rewrites to https://site.whatever/folder/url.
This is a "redirect", not a rewrite.
This is happening because of the use of the REQUEST_URI server variable in your HTTP to HTTPS redirect in your public_html/folder .htaccess file:
RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R,L]
The REQUEST_URI server variable contains the full URL-path of the request, which, by the time the subdirectory's .htaccess file is called, has been updated to contain /folder.
You need to either:
Move your canonical www to non-www and HTTP to HTTPS redirects to the .htaccess file in the document root. (This would be preferable if you have no other mod_rewrite directives in your public_html/folder .htaccess file.)
OR,
Modify the above directive to use the $1 backreference (to the captured RewriteRule pattern) as you are doing in the preceding www to non-www redirect. For example:
RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]
(Note that this should ultimately be a 301 redirect, once you have confirmed it works OK.)
And don't forget to escape literal dots in the regex.
I'm trying to create an htaccess file in the root directory that will also affect subdomain directories (the subdomain works from a directory in the root).
Firstly, will this work if I have one htaccess file in the root? (will it work for subdomains in browsers (as they are actually just directories from root?) ).
The problem that I'm having is that when I try to visit http://demo.example.com, instead of it redirecting to https://demo.example.com it just remains using http://. This also is the case when trying to view http://www.example.com (it doesn't redirect to https).
This is my entire htaccess file as it currently stands. It seems quite bloated to me. Is there a way I can just redirect everything to https, regardless of subdomain / root ?
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
# redirect subdomain to https
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(?!www\.)([^.]+)\.example\.com$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !on
RewriteRule ^ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L,NE]
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !on [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\. [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(?:www\.)?(example\.com)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^ https://www.%1%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L,NE]
</IfModule>
Can you try these rules in your site root .htaccess:
RewriteEngine On
# add www and https to main domain
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !on [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\. [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(?:www\.)?(example\.com)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^ https://www.%1%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L,NE]
# redirect everything to https
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !on
RewriteRule ^ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L,NE]
Test it in a new browser or completely clear your browser cache before testing.
My situtation is that multiple domains share a htaccess file and I need to redirect the root / to each language folder.
So I want ONLY the root / of each domain to be redirected like:
www.my-en.com/ to redirect to /en/
and
www.my-de.de/ to redirect to /de/
Unfortunately I need to accomplish this with htaccess as I CANNOT change any other settings.
So far all solutions I found look like this
redirct 301 /old-path http://www.new-domain.com
which will always be applied to all domains using the htaccess.
You can use:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?my-en\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^$ http://www.my-en.com/en/ [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?my-de\.de$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^$ http://www.my-de.de/de/ [R=301,L]
# Redirect others to www
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\. [NC]
RewriteRule ^ http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [NE,L,R=301]
I have been trying to rewrite a subdirectory from HTTP to HTTPS to no avail. I have looked at other posts and tried to implement the solutions:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 80
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} subdirectory
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.exmaple.com/subdirectory/$1 [R,L]
and also
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
RewriteRule ^(subdirectory/.*)$ https://www.example.com/$1 [R=301,L]
and placing them either on the root directory .htaccess file or the Plesk's Apache and Ngnix settings. But whenever I typed
http://www.example.com/subdirectory/some.html
I will always get
https://www.example.com/subdirectory//subdirectory/some.html
which is of course 404 not found. Any assistance is appreciated.
To force HTTPs for just a single directory then what you can use is:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP:X-Forwarded-SSL} !on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^\/(subdirectory)
RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [L,R=301]
RewriteCond %{HTTP:X-Forwarded-SSL} =on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^\/(subdirectory)
RewriteRule (.*) http://%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [L,R=301]
What is the above doing? The first condition checks if HTTPs is not on, if not, then it will check for the directory /subdirectory/ if found it will force this directory and only this directory to HTTPs.
The second set of rules is basically the opposite, forcing everything to HTTP except for the directory /subdirectory/.
Make sure you clear your cache before testing this.
I'm trying to put a mobile site live on a subdomain. e.g. m.domain.com there is already a desktop site on domain.com.
The domain.com htaccess file has a rewrite rule to redirect all non-www requests to www.domain.com. This is conflicting with the m. subdomain, causing the user to be taken to www.m.domain.com.
Can I add some kind of exclusion to the rewrite rule? Or perhaps specifically overrule the rewriterule?
My non-www to www rewriteRule is as follows:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\..+$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^ http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]
</IfModule>
You can use this rule to avoid impacting m.domain.com from www rule:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^domain\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^ http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]
</IfModule>
