I've had a look through existing questions, but I haven't really come across anything which works for me.
I'm currently running a site with a Secure SSL certificate. It can be accessed at https://www.example.co.uk a problem is the site can also be accessed at http://www.example.co.uk - I don't want this to be possible. I need it to redirect from http to https.
I found this one snippet of code to use in an .htaccess file.
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^example.co.uk [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://example.co.uk/$1 [L,R=301]
This works fine when the user enters example.co.uk into their address bar, but I also need to add a conditional statement of some sort so that if the user enters 'www.example.co.uk' or 'http://www.example.co.uk'.
I've tried using the likes of [OR], but this ends up creating server errors.
Any help and suggestions is appreciated.
Cheers.
Try the following:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
RewriteRule ^.*$ https://%{SERVER_NAME}%{REQUEST_URI} [R,L]
Also, you can also redirect based on port number, for example:
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} ^80$
RewriteRule ^.*$ https://%{SERVER_NAME}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]
This will redirect all requests received on port 80 to HTTPS.
Add the following code in .htaccess file.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 80
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.example.com/$1 [R,L]
change example.com with your website domain

Try this, I used it and it works fine

(I tried so many different blocks of code, this 3 liner worked flawlessly)
For me work ONLY this variant:
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteCond %{HTTP:X-Forwarded-Proto} !https
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]

I try all of above code but any code is not working for my website.then i try this code and This code is running perfect for my website. You can use the following Rule in htaccess :
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
//Redirect http to https
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 80
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?example\.com
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.example.com/$1 [R,L]
//Redirect non-www to www
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^example.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.example.com/$1 [L,R=301]
</IfModule>
Change example.com with your domain name and sorry for my poor english.
# Switch rewrite engine off in case this was installed under HostPay.

To redirect http://example.com or http://www.example.com to https://www.example.com in a simple way, you can use the following Rule in htaccess :
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteCond www.%{HTTP_HOST} ^(?:www\.)?(www\..+)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^ https://%1%{REQUEST_URI} [NE,L,R]
[Tested]
%{REQUEST_SCHEME} variable is available since apache 2.4 , this variable contains the value of requested scheme (http or https), on apache 2.4 you can use the following rule :
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_SCHEME} ^http$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?(.+)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^ https://www.%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [NE,L,R]
There are better and more secure ways to make sure that all your traffic goes over https. For example setting up two virtual hosts and redirecting all traffic from your http to your https host. Read more on this in this answer here on security.stackexchange.com.
With setting up a virtual host for redirecting you can send a 301 status (redirect permanently) so the browser understands that all the following requests should be sent to the https server where it was redirected to. Hence no further http requests will be made after the first redirect response.
You should also carefully check the given answers because with the wrong rewrite rules set you might loose the query params from your incoming requests.
If you want to redirect HTTP to HTTPS and want to add www with each URL, use the htaccess below
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R,L]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]
it will first redirect HTTP to HTTPS and then it will redirect to www.
Since this is one of the top results in the search, if you're trying to add http to https redirect on AWS beanstalk, the accepted solution will not work.
You need following code instead:
RewriteCond %{HTTP:X-Forwarded-Proto} =http
RewriteRule ^.*$ https://%{HTTP:Host}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=permanent]
Try this
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www. [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]

None of these worked for me, except for this. My site was hosted in https://www.asmallorange.com

RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !on
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} !^443$
RewriteCond %{HTTP:X-Forwarded-Proto} !https

The below code, when added to the .htaccess file, will automatically redirect any traffic destined for http: to https:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R,L]
</IfModule>
If your project is in Laravel add the two lines
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R,L]
just below RewriteEngine On. Finally your .htaccess file will look like the following.
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
<IfModule mod_negotiation.c>
Options -MultiViews -Indexes
</IfModule>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R,L]

Visite here to more information
in .htaccess file add following line to restrict http access
SSLRequireSSL
for some reason its inverted in my host
so if i want it to reditect i need to check if https is on and then redirect to https
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} =on
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [L,R=301]
is the code i use
I would like to redirect www.example.com to example.com. The following htaccess code makes this happen:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.example\.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://example.com/$1 [L,R=301]
But, is there a way to do this in a generic fashion without hardcoding the domain name?
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.(.*)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%1/$1 [R=301,L]
Same as Michael's except this one works :P
But if we need to do this for separate http and https:
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.(.*)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://%1/$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.(.*)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%1/$1 [R=301,L]
Redirect non-www to www (both: http + https)
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.(.*)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.(.*)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]
If you want to do this in the httpd.conf file, you can do it without mod_rewrite (and apparently it's better for performance).
<VirtualHost *>
ServerName www.example.com
Redirect 301 / http://example.com/
</VirtualHost>
I got that answer here: https://serverfault.com/questions/120488/redirect-url-within-apache-virtualhost/120507#120507
Here are the rules to redirect a www URL to no-www:
#########################
# redirect www to no-www
#########################
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.(.+) [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*) http://%1/$1 [R=301,NE,L]
Here are the rules to redirect a no-www URL to www:
#########################
# redirect no-www to www
#########################
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(?!www\.)(.+) [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*) http://www.%1/$1 [R=301,NE,L]
Note that I used NE flag to prevent apache from escaping the query string. Without this flag, apache will change the requested URL http://www.example.com/?foo%20bar to http://www.example.com/?foo%2250bar
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.(.*)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^/(.*)$ https://%1/$1 [R]
The RewriteCond captures everything in the HTTP_HOST variable after the www. and saves it in %1.
The RewriteRule captures the URL without the leading / and saves it in $1.
Try this:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\. [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ %{HTTP_HOST}$1 [C]
RewriteRule ^www\.(.*)$ http://$1 [L,R=301]
If the host starts with www, we stick the whole host onto the start of the URL, then take off the "www."
Complete Generic WWW handler, http/https
I didn't see a complete answer. I use this to handle WWW inclusion.
Generic. Doesn't require domain info.
Forces WWW on primary domain: www.domain.com
Removes WWW on subdomains: sub.domain.com
Preserves HTTP/HTTPS status.
Allows individual cookies for domain / sub-domains
Please let me know how this works or if I left a loophole.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
# Force WWW. when no subdomain in host
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^[^.]+\.[^.]+$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTPS}s ^on(s)|off [NC]
RewriteRule ^ http%1://www.%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]
# Remove WWW. when subdomain(s) in host
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\. [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTPS}s ^on(s)|off [NC]
RewriteCond http%1://%{HTTP_HOST} ^(https?://)(www\.)(.+\.)(.+\.)(.+)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^ %1%3%4%5%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]
There can be a lot of misinformation out there about htaccess redirects, I find. First off, make sure your site is running on Unix using Apache and not on a Windows host if you expect this code to work.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.(.+)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://%1/$1 [R=301,L]
(Make sure there are no line spaces between each line of text, though; I have added an extra space between lines so it renders okay in this window.)
This is one snippet of code that can be used to direct the www version of your site to the http:// version. There are other similar codes that can be used, too.
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.(.*)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://%1/subfolder/$1 [R=301,L]
For subfolder
www to non www with https
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.(.*)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://%1/$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !on
RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]
For those that need to able to access the entire site WITHOUT the 'www' prefix.
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.(.+)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^ http%{ENV:protossl}://%1%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
Mare sure you add this to the following file
/site/location/.htaccess
Using .htaccess to Redirect to www or non-www:
Simply put the following lines of code into your main, root .htaccess file.
In both cases, just change out domain.com to your own hostname.
Redirect to www
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^domain\.tld [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.domain.tld/$1 [L,R=301]
</IfModule>
Redirect to non-www
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.domain\.tld [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://domain.tld/$1 [L,R=301]
</IfModule>
I used the above rule to fwd www to no www and it works fine for the homepage, however on the internal pages they are forwarding to /index.php
I found this other rule in my .htaccess file which is causing this but not sure what to do about it. Any suggestions would be great:
############################################
## always send 404 on missing files in these folders
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/(media|skin|js)/
############################################
## never rewrite for existing files, directories and links
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-l
############################################
## rewrite everything else to index.php
RewriteRule .* index.php [L]
RewriteEngine on
# if host value starts with "www."
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.
# redirect the request to "non-www"
RewriteRule ^ http://example.com%{REQUEST_URI} [NE,L,R]
If you want to remove www on both http and https , use the following :
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.
RewriteCond %{HTTPS}s ^on(s)|offs
RewriteRule ^ http%1://example.com%{REQUEST_URI} [NE,L,R]
This redirects
Non ssl
http://www.example.com
to
http://example.com
And
SSL
https://www.example.com
to
https://example.com
on apache 2.4.* you can accomplish this using a Redirect with if directive,
<if "%{HTTP_HOST} =='www.example.com'">
Redirect / http://example.com/
</if>
use: Javascript / jQuery
// similar behavior as an HTTP redirect
window.location.replace("http://www.stackoverflow.com");
// similar behavior as clicking on a link
window.location.href = "http://stackoverflow.com";
Or .htaccess:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
Rewritecond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.yoursite\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://yoursite.com/$1 [R=301,L]
and The PHP method:
$protocol = (#$_SERVER["HTTPS"] == "on") ? "https://" : "http://";
if (substr($_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'], 0, 4) !== 'www.') {
header('Location: '.$protocol.'www.'.$_SERVER ['HTTP_HOST'].'/'.$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']);
exit;
}
Ajax
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: reqUrl,
data: reqBody,
dataType: "json",
success: function(data, textStatus) {
if (data.redirect) {
// data.redirect contains the string URL to redirect to
window.location.href = data.redirect;
}
else {
// data.form contains the HTML for the replacement form
$("#myform").replaceWith(data.form);
}
}
});
The only way I got it to work...
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^site\.ro
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.site.ro/$1 [R=301,L]
If you are forcing www. in url or forcing ssl prototcol, then try to use possible variations in htaccess file, such as:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
### Force WWW ###
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^example\.com
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.example.com/$1 [R=301,L]
## Force SSL ###
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 80
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://example.com/$1 [R,L]
## Block IP's ###
Order Deny,Allow
Deny from 256.251.0.139
Deny from 199.127.0.259
This is updated to work on Apache 2.4:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.(.*)$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://%1/$1 [R=301,L]
The only change vs Michael's is to remove the [NC], which produces the "AH00665" error:
NoCase option for non-regex pattern '-f' is not supported and will be ignored
The selected answer and many other solutions here dropped the the part of the url after /, so basically it always redirected to main domain, at least for me.. So i am adding working sample respecting full path after slash..
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.(.*)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://%1%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
Alternative approach if .htaccess customization is not ideal option:
I've created simple redirect server for public use. Just add A or CNAME record:
CNAME r.simpleredirect.net
A 89.221.218.22
More info: https://simpleredirect.net
I am not sure why u want to remove www.
But reverse version would be:
# non-www.* -> www.*, if subdomain exist, wont work
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^whattimein\.com
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.whattimein.com/$1 [R=permanent,L]
And advantage of this script is:
if u have something like test.whattimein.com or any other (enviroments for developing/testing)
it wont redirect U to the original enviroment.
Added if localhost, ignore redirection (for development purpose in local environment). If not localhost AND (not https OR it’s www), redirect to https and non-www.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !localhost [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\. [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]
Add
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.(.*)$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://%1/$1 [L,R=301]
to your .htaccess before any other rule.
Hi you can use following rules on your htaccess file:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^example.com
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.example.com/$1 [R=301,L]
I have a folder named: "polygon" I can access in these ways:
http://website.com/polygon
http://www.website.com/polygon
I created a subdomain for this folder and can also access it in two ways:
http://polygon.website.com
http://www.polygon.website.com
And I made an https access for this subdomain: https://polygon.website.com
I want to redirect the folder and the subdomain, with and without, www to the: https://polygon.website.com
In .htaccess, made with Cpanel, I made a redirection:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^website\.com$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.website\.com$
RewriteRule ^secure\/?(.*)$ "https\:\/\/polygon\.website\.com\/$1" [R=301,L]
but I can't redirect the http://(www.?)website.com/polygon to the secure url, because of a loop error message...
Thank you for the help in advance! :)
You can exclude each sub1, sub2 individually like so;
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^sub1\.domain\.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*) - [L]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^sub2\.domain\.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*) - [L]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.domain\.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*) http://www.domain.com/$1 [L,R=301]
</IfModule>
Or just be specific that you only want to redirect domain.com to www.domain.com with the RewriteCond
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^domain\.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*) http://www.domain.com/$1 [L,R=301]
</IfModule>
Reference
https://serverfault.com/questions/391843/htaccess-redirect-non-www-to-www-and-retain-subdomains-from-redirecting
I couldn't find the solution for "non-www" to "www" domain redirection. I have tried the following :
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews -Indexes
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^domain\.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*) http://www.domain.com/$1 [L,R=301]

RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,}\s(.*)/index\.php [NC]
RewriteRule ^ %1 [R=301,L]
</IfModule>
So, how can I redirect, for example domain.com or www.domain.com to http://www.domain.com ?.
Something like should work :
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\. [NC]
RewriteRule ^ http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
</IfModule>
Here is what should help you:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www.domain.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.domain.com/$1 [L,R=301]
Can you try this ?
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^domain.com
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.domain.com/$1 [R=301,L]
Seems apache mod_rewrite module is not enabled. So Make sure the Apache module mod_rewrite is enabled on your web server.
Try again this and see..It must work.
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^domain.com

Redirecting non-www to www with .htaccess
My .htaccess:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^deathga.me$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://deathga.me/$1 [L,R=301]
</IfModule>
It correctly redirects from www.deathga.me to deathga.me, which solves many things. But it also redirects play.deathga.me to deathga.me/play/ , which is undesirable.
My question is basically the opposite to this: Redirecting http://example.com to http:/www.example.com while keeping http://subdomain.example.com access intact. Only I cannot figure out how to apply it to my site, even looking at that question, googling and trying many things. The question itself is pretty simple: how to redirect www.example.com to example.com but keep sub.example.com in that subdirectory? I am not even sure if it's a problem with Godaddy or with htaccess... where should I start looking into? This is a screenshot of Godaddy subdomain configuration:
EDIT: Full .htaccess now:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^play.deathga.me$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^deathga.me$ [NC]

Apparently what I wanted to do cannot be done with the 'fake' godaddy subdomain and an Economy account: Setting up a "real" subdomain with Go Daddy .
Thank you #borazslo for all the help.
