hi,

we need to redirect:
http://mydoamain.com/books to
https://mydoamain.com/books

kindly suggest for the same

Not working for me. In Firefox I get:

“Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete.”

I can see the location in the browser change to “https://…” but it just throws me that error.

If i write the location directly it works fine.

Thanks for any advice.

Yes you by using RewriteCond you can use them.

Wolfram,

I really don’t get you can you explain in details.

Hi there…

I just tried adding # to disable the line and redirection takes place pretty straight-forward

Strange… or this is a bug ?

Hi,
I have used rewrite in my httpd.conf, but it doesn’t work.
It shows this error :
HTTP Status 405 – HTTP method GET is not supported by this URL

How can I solve this problem?

thanks

please note i used

Redirect permanent / https://mydomain

my probelm is stil wif redirecting it to
http://wwww.abc.com/abc.php -> https://wwww.abc.com/abc.php

though the code gave the effect of redirection only the http://wwww.abc.com only…

what could i have done wrong, please advice

This way will never work. Instead go to the sites root directory. Open up .htaccess and add line

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 80
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.example.com/$1 [R,L]

This should work

“if you want to remove redirect permanent, then hash the line where you have given redirect option.
then restart the server, restarting the httpd sometimes doesn’t work.”

My redirect is still active how do i fix this also i have my server running on port 5500 but this doesnt work /foo http://localhost:5500/bar why not?

I tried using this method for a server host site and everything works as it should except that the server statistics like load and uptime show as “Not Available”. These are the only two items that won’t show. Without the .htaccess file there, the server stats work fine from both http and https. I’m stumped.

I want to redirect all the http request to https. This works fine.
But I would like to access 1 directory(/images) in http.
Redirect permanent / https://www.example.com/

Any pointers?

Hello guys, recently i purchased rapidssl from sslgenie. I used to redirect all my requests of http://nodewire.net/any url to https://nodewire.net/any url just by modifying .htaccess. this seemed to work well with SSLGENIE cert. However, when i switched over to Rapidssl cert, this edit in .htaccess seemed to be a problem. So i had to remove the code in htaccess, now my site has https only when a user manually types it. Please tell me how to redirect all http requests to https by editing httpd.conf or .htaccess.

PS: Rapidssl has a server root certificate while sslgenie doesnt! though this might help a bit?? (dunno)

using: apache2-mpm-prefork 2.2.9-10+lenny2 on Linux Debian

1.) I have been trying for days to get redirect/force to only https without success.
I too get loop error if I add the line to apache2.conf:
Redirect permanent / https://my.domain.com/
============
2.) I’ve also tried both .htaccess codes posted above creating a .htaccess and put it in webroot /var/www/.htaccess (I presently don’t use any .htaccess files)
“Internal Server Error <The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request…..”

pico /var/www/.htaccess
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI}

chmod 644 /etc/apache2/.htaccess
/etc/init.d/apache2 reload

============also tried:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 80
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://myurl.com/$1 [R,L]

same error
============
3.) Another place I read to add this line to apache2.conf:
LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so

Cannot load /etc/apache2/modules/mod_rewrite.so into server: /etc/apache2/modules/mod_rewrite.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
failed!

This prevented my apache from restarting as suspected as I can’t find in ‘any’ of the files the “LoadModule” line, period.

The only thing I could find that sounds related was this here:
/etc/apache2/mods-available/rewrite.load
so seems this module isn’t even loaded as it’s not in the /mods-enabled/ directory.

Please if anyone could help solve this that would be great!
Thank you for your time :D

I was able to get a HTTP to HTTPS redirect working.

I put the redirect permanent in httpd.conf, in the section for a specific NameVirtualHost listener:

<NameVirtualHost 122.123.124.1:80>

    ServerName mywebsite.com:80
    ServerAlias http://www.mywebsite.com:80
    ServerAlias 122.123.124.1:80
    Redirect permanent / https://www.mywebsite.com/

</VirtualHost>
