Redirecting http to https give loop error

[Louie Picklezilla]

I am trying to force my website to redirect to https automatically, but it gives a loop error when I try to do so. I've tried so many different things and nothing is working.

My .htaccess file:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^too\.com$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.too\.com$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ "https\:\/\/toon\.com\/$1" [R=301,L,NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^([^\.]+)$ $1.html [NC,L]
DirectoryIndex play

How do I get it to work?

I use a php snippet of code and htaccess for my redirect to https://www.

in my htaccess i have

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www.sitenamehere.com$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ sitenamehere/$1 [L,R=301]

And in my header.php i got this snippet of code.

<?php
if (! isset($_SERVER['HTTPS']) or $_SERVER['HTTPS'] == 'off' ) {
    $redirect_url = "https://" . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
    header("Location: $redirect_url");
    exit();
}
?>

before i used both of these methods, i tried many methods in htaccess, but i had soo many issues, but now this 2 bits above does the trick for me, maybe it will help you too

Hi Louie, Welcome to the forums.

Below is the code you can enter in your .htaccess file.

RewriteEngine on

RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(?:www\.)?(.*)$ [NC]
RewriteRule (.*) https://www.%1%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
