To give a little background that may help understand this. I only had one domain on my host's server initially. I just added a new domain and it was redirecting to my first site.
I had to create an .htaccess file redirect my first site so that it would have my SSL on every page and so that it took the www. away from the sites name. The www. was causing issues with sessions when a customer would login.
So my code was like this:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.(.+) [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*) https://%1/$1 [R=301,NE,L]
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule ^ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [NE,L,R=301]
The tech support of my host company said that this line was making my new site redirect to my old site:
RewriteRule ^(.*) https://%1/$1 [R=301,NE,L]
How can I make my code work so that is still has the exact same functionality of what it was doing and not interfere with my new domain and make it re-route to my old site?
Why not just exclude the new site, if I am understanding correctly?
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^(www\.)?newsite\.com [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.oldsite\.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://oldsite.com/$1 [R=301,NE,L]
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} ^off
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^(www\.)?newsite\.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*) https://oldsite.com/$1 [R=301,NE,L]
Alternatively maybe you can just tell it to not do anything based on the host. Try putting this at the top of your rules.
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?newsite\.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^ - [L]
Note I haven't tested this.

Currently I redirect all http users (www or non-www) of upscfever.com to http://upscfever.com/upsc-fever/index.html
using
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^upscfever\.com$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.upscfever\.com$
RewriteRule ^/?$ "http\:\/\/upscfever\.com\/upsc\-fever\/index\.html" [R=301,L]
Now I want all users to shift to https so I modified as follows:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^upscfever\.com$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.upscfever\.com$
RewriteRule ^/?$ "https\:\/\/upscfever\.com\/upsc\-fever\/index\.html" [R=301,L]
So that all who type upscfever.com OR www.upscfever.com should go to
https://upscfever.com/upsc-fever/index.html - instead
Plus all links should be https. But its not working I get Page not found.
Your server has to setup the https first, depend on hosting vendor, if your hosting is vps you need to setup https for apache, install cert also.
You can find some instruction like this:
https://manual.seafile.com/deploy/https_with_apache.html
https://www.digicert.com/csr-ssl-installation/apache-openssl.htm
I think you want to make 3 different changes:
Change your .htaccess file to redirect requests to root to your custom index irrespective of the HTTPS or HTTP for the original request
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^upscfever\.com$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.upscfever\.com$
RewriteRule ^/?$ "https://%{SERVER_NAME}/upsc-fever/index.html" [R,L]
There is no R=301 part here because I'm not sure it is really wise to make permanent such a redirect to an obscure inner URL.
Redirect all other non-HTTPS requests to HTTPS (preserving the rest of the URL):
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^upscfever\.com$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.upscfever\.com$
RewriteRule ^/?(.*) https://%{SERVER_NAME}/$1 [R=301,L]
Making this redirect permanent seems pretty safe.
Change all internal links in all of your HTML pages (or whatever backend generates them) to use protocol-relative // prefix or explicitly https:// instead of current http://. Preserve the protocol for the external links as is.
As for troubleshooting, you may use the Network tab of the Chrome DevTools (F12) to see exact server reply (note: enabling "Preserve log" and "Disable cache" flags is useful in such context)
You can do that using a single rule as follows in your site root .htaccess:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(?:www\.)?upscfever\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^/?$ /upsc-fever/index.html [R=301,L]
This will redirect both http and https URLs.
You may try something like this:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !=""
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\. [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTPS}s ^on(s)|
RewriteRule ^ http%1://www.%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]
I hope below code will do the work for you
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
RewriteRule ^/?(.*) https://famebooking.net/$1 [R,L]
just simply add above code in .htaccess below authorization header condition is written under RewriteEngine On
Let me know if that helps.
I am no htaccess expert, but after Googling for two hours I gave up. Maybe you can help me?
I have my entire site on SSL. However, I have two pages that reference non-secure dynamic content from elsewhere. I need these to be on http instead of https.
The first part of my rules work. All the site is forced to SSL except for those two pages. However, the last part doesn't: force those two pages to non-SSL. It is probably very stupid but does anyone see where I go wrong?
#add www. if missing WORKS
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^[^.]+\.[^.]+$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [L,R=301]
#force SSL/https WORKS
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/webshop2/localize\.php
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/webshop2/layoutstripper\.php
RewriteRule ^ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
#force http DOES NOT WORK
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/webshop2/localize\.php [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/webshop2/layoutstripper\.php [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
You need an [OR] flag in your second SSL rule. The 2 conditions you have essentially say:
the request must be HTTPS
the URI must start with: /webshop2/localize.php
the URI must start with: /webshop2/layoutstripper.php
As you can see, the last 2 conditions will always fail, as the request can't be BOTH at the same time. If you add an [OR] flag in there, it makes it true if the URI is one or the other:
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/webshop2/localize\.php [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/webshop2/layoutstripper\.php [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
I am trying to migrate one domain to a new domain as well as force everything to https.
I have tried a few iterations using .htaccess with no luck.
One thing I tried was:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !newsite.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.newsite.com/$1 [L,R=301]
This redirects everything except the oldsite https links.
Also have tried other options like:
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(.+)\.oldsite.com\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule (.*) https://newsite.com/$1 [L,R=301,QSA]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !newsite.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.newsite.com/$1 [L,R=301]
Also with no luck.
I imagine I am missing something quite simple...any tips would be appreciated!
Besides unescaped . character, your initial attempt is correct. To redirect one domain to another and switch to HTTPS connection, considering that there are other sites pointing to the same document root:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !newsite\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule (.*) https://www.newsite.com/$1 [R=301,L]
UPDATE:
Although the rule above is correct, redirection from https://www.oldsite.com to https://www.newsite.com didn't occur for original poster because newsite.com didn't have a valid certificate.
I'm trying to redirect my website about dentists in London from the non-www to the www version and I'm using the following code on the .htaccess of my server, but it doesn't work. What do I miss?
Thank you
RewriteEngine On
### re-direct to www
RewriteCond %{http_host} !^www.topdentists.co.uk [nc]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.topdentists.co.uk/$1 [r=301,nc]
Try this:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]
This is more general and will work for any site, not just the one you are currently working on. Taken from: Dense13.com (explanation of the code is in the second comment, underneath the article)
The reason why I think your code didn't work is because the RewriteCond uses a regular expression, but you didn't escape the dot (which is a regex-character).
To properly handle any potential https requests, as well as any strange characters, something like this is usually recommended:
# From http://stackoverflow.com/a/4958847/1078583
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\. [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTPS}s ^on(s)|
RewriteRule ^ http%1://www.%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]
I have an htaccess wildcard redirect on a website, it redirect another domain to a main one and also redirects www to none www with wildcard for the main domain. The following rules are made with cpanel, however it does not use the wildcard.
These same rules work fine on many other sites just not the one in question.
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.domain1\.ca$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ "http\:\/\/domain1\.ca\/$1" [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^domain2\.com$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.domain2\.com$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ "http\:\/\/domain1\.ca\/$1" [R=301,L]
Any ideas? I am out of ideas for what could be causing this.
To add more clarification:
if i go to www.domain1.ca/some-page it should redirect to domain1.ca/some-page
However instead it goes to domain1.ca.
Tested in every browser, remade the rules, removed all cache and did multiple dns flush's, nothing has changed this.
You can use:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.(.+)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^ http://%1%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L,NE]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?domain2\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^ http://domain1.ca%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L,NE]
