I have a site example.com and also a subdomain and I want the following redirect:
subdomain.example.com -> www.subdomain.example.com
example.com -> www.example.com
I use the following code
RewriteEngine On
# Force www. always and SSL
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\. [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301, L]
# Force SSL if already www.
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301, L]
Now the problem is that subdomain.example.com doesn't redirect but subdomain.example.com/ does.
I also get a Server Error when going to example.com, although it does redirect to www. correctly.
The point with these redirects is so that I can in the same .htaccess file in the root folder hopefully redirect the subdomains to subdomain.com more easily, I have several domains on one server.
I think you can combine the directives together like this:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\. [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(.*)$ [NC]
RewriteRule (.*) https://www.%1/$1 [R=301,L]
=> Check if HTTPS is off, or if the domain name does not begin with www, and then redirect to https://www.whatever.
I want to rewrite and redirect my http:\\www.domain.tld to https:\\www.domain.tld
And I want to rewrite and redirect my domain.tld to www.domain.tld
I want to have something that redirect and, with seo concern, shows that's a redirection.
For now I have something like this:
1)
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule ^ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.
RewriteRule ^ https://www.%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L,NE,QSA]
or
2)
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
RewriteRule .* https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.
RewriteRule .* https://www.%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L,NE,QSA]
What's the best? Is there something wrong?
Thank you
The Apache docs recommend against using a rewrite: redirect to https
To redirect http URLs to https, you should do the following:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName www.example.com
Redirect / https://www.example.com/
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:443>
ServerName www.example.com
# ... SSL configuration goes here
This snippet should go into main server configuration file, not into .htaccess as asked in the question.
But if you don't have access to the main server configuration file you could use this:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^example.com$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !on
RewriteRule (.*) https://www.example.com/$1 [R=301,L]
Line 1: if the url starts without www
line 2: if there is no https
line 3: rewrite all urls from this domain to one that starts with https and have www
How to achieve the following:
redirect all http:// domain .com to https:// www.domain .com
redirect all http:// www.domain .com to https:// www.domain .com
redirect all https:// domain .com to https:// www.domain .com
So basically, all my traffic be it non-www or www will be redirected to SSL www domain.
Edit:
Additionally, I have 2 subdomain that works on http, so I want to achieve the above and also keep the 2 subdomain free from the above redirect rule.
You can use the following code in Root/.htaccess :
RewriteEngine on
#Http to https
#Exclude subdomains
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^(sub1|sub2)
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?example.com$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule ^ https://www.example.com%{REQUEST_URI} [NC,L,R]
#add www on ssl
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.
RewriteRule ^ https://www.%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [NC,L,R]
This will redirect :
http://example.com
or
http://www.example.com
to ssl
https://www.example.com
And the second rule will add www to non www requests on ssl, redirect :
https://example.com
to
https://www.example.com
First, you can edit your httpd.conf file, and add this to the :80 servers
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^domain.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.domain.com$1 [L,R=301]
</IfModule>
Anyway , this on .htaccess will do the same
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www.domain\.com [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^$
RewriteRule ^/?(.*) https://www.domain.com/$1 [L,R,NE]
Also, you can add in your vhost file also something like
Redirect permanent / https://www.domain.com/
And in your vhost_ssl:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^domain.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.domain.com$1 [L,R=301]
</IfModule>
I have a website that has an SSL setup for domain.com, but not www.domain.com.
I have the following running in my .htaccess,
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 80
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R,L]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.%{HTTP_HOST}$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]
This does not seem to work at all, basically I have a couple of scenarios
http://www.domain.com -> https://domain.com
https://www.domain.com -> https://domain.com
http://domain.com -> https://domain.com
Basically I want anything that is not https://domain.com to be forwarded to https://domain.com, so that my SSL works without warnings.
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^domain\.com$
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} ^off$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://domain.com/$1 [NC,R,L]
I have an old url (www1.test.net) and I would like to redirect it to https://www1.test.net
I have implemented and installed our SSL certificate on my site.
This is my old file .htaccess:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule !\.(js|gif|jpg|png|css|txt)$ public/index.php [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/public/
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ public/$1 [L]
How can I configure my .htaccess file so that url auto redirect to https?
Thanks!
I use the following to successfully redirect all pages of my domain from http to https:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]
Note this will redirect using the 301 'permanently moved' redirect, which will help transfer your SEO rankings.
To redirect using the 302 'temporarily moved' change [R=302,L]
Update 2016
As this answer receives some attention, I want to hint to a more recommended way on doing this using Virtual Hosts: Apache: Redirect SSL
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName mysite.example.com
Redirect permanent / https://mysite.example.com/
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost _default_:443>
ServerName mysite.example.com
DocumentRoot /usr/local/apache2/htdocs
SSLEngine On
# etc...
</VirtualHost>
Old answer, hacky thing
given that your ssl-port is not set to 80, this will work:
RewriteEngine on
# force ssl
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} ^80$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{SERVER_NAME}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R]
Note that this should be your first rewrite rule.
Edit: This code does the following. The RewriteCond(ition) checks wether the ServerPort of the request is 80 (which is the default http-port, if you specified another port, you would have to adjust the condition to it). If so, we match the whole url (.*) and redirect it to a https-url. %{SERVER_NAME} may be replaced with a specific url, but this way you don't have to alter the code for other projects. %{REQUEST_URI} is the portion of the url after the TLD (top-level-domain), so you will be redirected to where you came from, but as https.
This is the best for www and for HTTPS, for proxy and no proxy users.
RewriteEngine On
### WWW & HTTPS
# ensure www.
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\. [NC]
RewriteRule ^ https://www.%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
# ensure https
RewriteCond %{HTTP:X-Forwarded-Proto} !https
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule ^ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
### WWW & HTTPS
I force the https with following code:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]
Add this code at the end of your .htaccess file
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI}
In cases where the HTTPS/SSL connection is ended at the load balancer and all traffic is sent to instances on port 80, the following rule works to redirect non-secure traffic.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP:X-Forwarded-Proto} !https
RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]
Ensure the mod_rewrite module is loaded.
Searching for the best way to redirect, i've found this (coming from html5boilerplate) :
# ----------------------------------------------------------------------
# | HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) |
# ----------------------------------------------------------------------
# Force client-side SSL redirection.
#
# If a user types `example.com` in their browser, even if the server
# redirects them to the secure version of the website, that still leaves
# a window of opportunity (the initial HTTP connection) for an attacker
# to downgrade or redirect the request.
#
# The following header ensures that browser will ONLY connect to your
# server via HTTPS, regardless of what the users type in the browser's
# address bar.
#
# (!) Remove the `includeSubDomains` optional directive if the website's
# subdomains are not using HTTPS.
#
# http://www.html5rocks.com/en/tutorials/security/transport-layer-security/
# https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-websec-strict-transport-sec-14#section-6.1
# http://blogs.msdn.com/b/ieinternals/archive/2014/08/18/hsts-strict-transport-security-attacks-mitigations-deployment-https.aspx
Header set Strict-Transport-Security "max-age=16070400; includeSubDomains"
Maybe it will help someone in 2017 ! :)
Insert this code in your .htaccess file. And it should work
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} yourDomainName\.com [NC]
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 80
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://yourDomainName.com/$1 [R,L]
This makes sure that redirects work for all combinations of intransparent proxies.
This includes the case client <http> proxy <https> webserver.
# behind proxy
RewriteCond %{HTTP:X-FORWARDED-PROTO} ^http$
RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]
# plain
RewriteCond %{HTTP:X-FORWARDED-PROTO} ^$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_SCHEME} ^http$ [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]
I had a problem with redirection also. I tried everything that was proposed on Stackoverflow. The one case I found by myself is:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP:SSL} !=1 [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]
Adding the following to the top of the .htaccess
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{ENV:HTTPS} !=on
RewriteRule ^.*$ https://%{SERVER_NAME}%{REQUEST_URI} [R,L]
This is what ended up working for me
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule .* - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization}]
</IfModule>
Forcing HTTPS with the .htaccess File
==> Redirect All Web Traffic :-
To force all web traffic to use HTTPS, insert the following lines of code in the .htaccess file in your website’s root folder.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !on
RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
==> Redirect Only Specified Domain :-
To force a specific domain to use HTTPS, use the following lines of code in the .htaccess file in your website’s root folder:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/[0-9]+\..+\.cpaneldcv$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/\.well-known/pki-validation/[A-F0-9]{32}\.txt(?:\ Comodo\ DCV)?$
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^example\.com [NC]
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 80
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.example.com/$1 [R=301,L]
If this doesn’t work, try removing the first two lines.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^example\.com [NC]
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 80
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.example.com/$1 [R=301,L]
Make sure to replace example.com with the domain name you’re trying
force to https. Additionally, you need to replace www.example.com with
your actual domain name.
==> Redirect Specified Folder :-
If you want to force SSL on a specific folder, insert the code below into a .htaccess file placed in that specific folder:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/[0-9]+\..+\.cpaneldcv$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/\.well-known/pki-validation/[A-F0-9]{32}\.txt(?:\ Comodo\ DCV)?$
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 80
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} folder
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.example.com/folder/$1 [R=301,L]
Make sure you change the folder reference to the actual folder name.
Then be sure to replace www.example.com/folder with your actual domain
name and folder you want to force the SSL on.
Replace your domain with domainname.com , it's working with me .
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^domainname\.com [NC]
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 80
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.domainname.com/$1 [R,L]
