Http to Https Redirection

[lloyd_tennison]

I am trying to have a http redirection to https. Everything I see, seems to be real simple, but does not work both ways.


Domain = mydomain.com
Directory = payme
File = index.php


So, I have an .htaccess file in the directory payme that states:

<IfModule mod_ssl.c>
SSLRequireSSL
</IfModule>
<IfModule !mod_ssl.c>
# no non-ssl access
Redirect permanent / https://www.mydomain.com/
</IfModule>

Everything I read says that should work, but not.

I also tried:

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.mydomain\.com
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://mydomain.com/$1 [R=301]
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} !^443$
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ https://mydomain.com/payme/ [R=301,L]

It seems even with only this in .htaccess

<IfModule !mod_ssl.c>
# no non-ssl access
Redirect  permanent / http://www.google.com
</IfModule>

Nothing happens. Opens index.php in that directory and does not send to google.

Try the following code, it is working nicely on my site.

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI}
RewriteRule www(.*) https://yourHTTPSdomain.com%{REQUEST_URI}

Try the following code, it is working nicely on my site.

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI}
RewriteRule www(.*) https://yourHTTPSdomain.com%{REQUEST_URI}

I gave it a try and for the most part it works but there is one issue.

The cert is for www.domain.com. So when someone goes to http://www.domain.com it redirects them to https://www.domain.com no problem.

However when someone goes to http://domain.com it redirects them to https://domain.com, since the server is made for www.domain.com that gives them a warning in the browser that the cert does not match the URL.

Does anyone have any ideas on what modrewrite command may work to solve that dilemma.

Thanks in advance.
