redirect https non-www Apache
 

Hi all,

I need to redirect any request to my server as the following

from https://myserver.com to https://www.myserver.com

I tried the following code but it only worked for http not https


Please help

Hi,

You can use:
If you put it in the SSL configuration part of apache it will do what you want. If you put it into the generic httpd.conf it will redirect http*://myserver.com to https://www.myserver.com.

Hi Bathory,

I put your code inside httpd.conf but https://myserver.com didnt go to https://www.myserver.com. however it worked for http://myserver.conf.

Please note I have defined the default server name to: www.myserver.com:443

[untested]
 

Not sure if it will work, but you could give this a try -

hth

You can put the rewrite stuff inside the <Directory ..></Directory> part of the document root. If your DocumentRoot is /var/www/html, you can use:
Or, as I've already told you, you can add it also in the SSL part of the apache configuration.

Cheers

Also did not work. in both cases I notice some url manipulation but it gets stuck on https://myserver.com

Try the following that checks for both SSL and FQDN:

This did not work bathory :S

I solved it on my testing environment using 2 name-based ssl vh and i put the following inside myserver.com:443

But Iam looking for a solution rather than this because I dont want to change my apache and openssl version at the time being..

any ideas??

I don't get it. What has apache and openssl version has to do with this?

my live environment does not support name based ssl vh....I have old version of openssl installed.

Hi,

Even if it's a production server, you should consider upgrading apache/openssl due to security bugs in older versions.

Regarding the rewrite rules, I guess that both the ssl vhosts (myserver.com and www.myserver.com) use the same docroot. If that's the case, you can put the rewrite stuff from my previous post in a .htaccess in the docroot

Regards

it is working after putting the code inside .htaccess :).

but why it should be inside .htaccess if the 2 vhs in the same docroot?!

another question. is there will be a side effect problems after using this rules. for example if the link contains special characters like "?" etc...

I am newbie to rewrite..the following is the modified version to only redirect https://myserver.com to https://www.myserver.com and keep http links intact

It should work the same regardless if you put the code in .htaccess or in httpd.conf. Maybe you did something wrong.

No, the $1 will be replaced by the actual URI no matter if it contains special characters or not.

Regards

I confirm it is working if I put the code inside httpd.conf under Directory directive.

I have added SSL to my website https://www.pnrstatusbuzz.in/ and redirect http non-www to https www with htaccess but sometime https shows in my domain name and sometimes not on browsers. I just want to know whether it's htaccess redirection code issue or SSL installation issue or anything else. If you ask i can show you my htaccess codes. I have tried all the possible way but none worked. Please guide me what to do and how to solve this issue.
