SOLVED Setting up redirection for https issue

[G. Andore]

Hello Team,

I've created a redirection on my Cpanel as shown below on the pictures attached but I am getting the error below.

This page isn’t working
example.com redirected you too many times.
Try clearing your cookies.
ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS

I selected this on Cpanel:

Type: permanent 103
https?://(www.)?: example.com
Blank space on /
Redirects to: https://example.com
Redirect with or without www.
Selecting Wild Card Redirect.

My goal is that when anyone types

 'example.com' or 'www.example.com'

they got directly to

 https://example.com

secured site and it's working good with SSL but I want to fix those 2 addresses. Thanks for the help!

Hi,
You could try undoing your changes above and uploading a .htaccess file containing the following (or enter the below in to your current .htaccess file at the top).

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
# First rewrite to HTTPS:
# Don't put www. here. If it is already there it will be included, if not
# the subsequent rule will catch it.
RewriteRule .* https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
# Now, rewrite any request to the wrong domain to use www.
# [NC] is a case-insensitive match
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\. [NC]
RewriteRule .* https://www.%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]

See if that helps..?

Hello @G. Andore,

I recommend trying the recommendation provided by @Dave Smith in the previous post, or trying an example like the one offered on the following thread:

Force https question

I can't take credit for the solution. Like many other solutions I came across it on Stack Overflow. If you have time pop over there sign-up and thank 'Michael Berkowski'.

Hello @Dave Smith and @cPanelMichael

I've tried doing what you did but it happened the same issue I mentioned above. ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS.

Can you be so kind to take a look on the code I sent below took from my htaccess and let me know if something is wrong. Or should I replace the current values for the ones you've shared?

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
# First rewrite to HTTPS:
# Don't put www. here. If it is already there it will be included, if not
# the subsequent rule will catch it.
RewriteRule .* https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
# Now, rewrite any request to the wrong domain to use www.
# [NC] is a case-insensitive match
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\. [NC]
RewriteRule .* https://www.%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]

RewriteOptions inherit

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

Hello @G. Andore,

It looks like your WordPress redirect rules are conflicting with the forced HTTPS redirect. The following WordPress topic may help with this:

Thank you.
