how can I redirect non-ssl sites to their ssl equivalent?

[shaky]

Hi,

I'm looking for a way to be able to redirect a person who goes to http://www.domain.com/admin/index.htm to automatically be redirected to https://www.domain.com/admin/index.htm

Is there a way I can write this in .htaccess?

Many Thanks.

Ok,

I did it with a really crude hack, in .htaccess I simply put the following line in:

Redirect permanent /admin/index.htm https://www.domain.com/admin/index_admin.htm

You can do this for all pages using the following in your .htacces file instead:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond   %{SERVER_PORT}  !^443$
RewriteRule   ^(.*)?$   https://%{SERVER_NAME}/$1 [L,R]

Thanks chirpy,

I tried droping your code into my .htaccess file for domain.com/admin

but just kept getting a 404 error.

I must have done something wrong

Odd. I just tested on a cPanel box and it worked fine. I even created a subdirectory called /admin and that worked too.

Ah, I've just reread your original post. I guess you'll be getting a 404 because at domain.com/admin/ you don't have an index.htm but a index_admin.htm, according to your post, anyway

I have an index.php, but that should not make any difference...should it?

Thx.

If you browse to:

http://www.yourdomain.com/admin/index.php

Does it switch to https and work?

[shaky]

Unfortunately not;

First I removed the redirect in .htaccess found in public_html folder, and then I copied your code exactly into the .htaccess file found in public_html/admin/ and I get a 404 error when going to http://www.domain.com/admin/index.php.

Thx again, appreciate any advice.

Ahhhhhh,

The code I mentioned was specifcally for the top level of the web root (i.e. in /public_html/.htaccess) it is intended for rerouting any requet on http:// to https:// for the whole domain.

To redirect just the /admin, you're probably better of using your original redirect if it works for you

Well thanks for your time, I will keep your code in mind if I need a total domain redirect in the future

I use this :

<code>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} !^443$
RewriteRule ^(.*)?$ https://%{SERVER_NAME}%{REQUEST_URI}
</code>

And any redirect to subdomain without problem
