How To Redirect HTTP to HTTPS (SSL)

Question

Today I turned on SSL.

But I have a big problem, i do not know how to set the absolute all subpages diverted permanently to: https://example.com in htaccess.

So I want all this:

http://example.com
http://www.example.com

to be redirected to https://example.com

Like all subpages (I have 300 sub pages).

Try this, works with every domain name:

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

Put this code in your DOCUMENT_ROOT/.htaccess file:

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.example\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^ https://example.com%{REQUEST_URI} [NE,R=301,L]

now works for example. com but it does not work for all sub-pages? – Emina Pollerman Aug 17 '14 at 11:24
You need to make sure this rule is **very first rule**. This rule has `RewriteRule ^ https://example.com%{REQUEST_URI} [NE,R=301,L]` which mean it works for **all the pages** – anubhava Aug 17 '14 at 11:43
I understand, but it does not work for all sublinks (for some works for some does not work). – Emina Pollerman Aug 17 '14 at 11:54
If you test with `http://www.domain.com/foobar.html` that also gets redirected to `https` – anubhava Aug 17 '14 at 12:33
Yes based on that only I left previous comment. `http://www.domain.com/foobar.html` redirects but `http://www.domain.com/index.html` doesn't. Do you have other rules also? – anubhava Aug 17 '14 at 14:22
I do not understand. How do I do that all forward, not just a few pages? – Emina Pollerman Aug 17 '14 at 14:27
What I mean is that rewrite is 100% correct since it is redirecting `http://www.domain.com/foobar.html` correctly. But you didn't answer my question. Can you copy/paste full .htaccess in question. – anubhava Aug 17 '14 at 15:43
This is FULL htaccess: – Emina Pollerman Aug 17 '14 at 16:46
RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off [OR] RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.MYDOMAIN\.com$ [NC] RewriteRule ^ https://MYDOMAIN.com%{REQUEST_URI} [NE,R=301,L] – Emina Pollerman Aug 17 '14 at 16:47
Just realized you're using `nginx` and this rewrite rule is for Apache. – anubhava Aug 17 '14 at 16:52
Sorry I don't know much about nginx. I can only help with Apache rewrites. – anubhava Aug 17 '14 at 17:12
Status of my server: cPanel Version 11.44.1 (build 15) Theme x3 Apache version 2.2.24 PHP version 5.4.15 MySQL version 5.5.37-cll Architecture x86_64 Operating system linux – Emina Pollerman Aug 17 '14 at 17:20
Your `http://` site is on nginx and `https://` is on Apache. I have checked with `curl` command line. – anubhava Aug 17 '14 at 17:26
Dear anubhava, What should I do if there is any possibility to do redirection, if you can help me? – Emina Pollerman Aug 17 '14 at 17:28
You need to contact your hosting co. with this info and ask them to use Apache for both http and https sites. – anubhava Aug 17 '14 at 17:37
Owners servers say that this is not possible, because the server uses both Apache and nginx – Emina Pollerman Aug 17 '14 at 20:49
It has to use only one of it not both. – anubhava Aug 18 '14 at 07:26
What should I do? If you could please help me? – Emina Pollerman Aug 18 '14 at 08:45
I have already told you that only your server admins can help you resolving this. I have already suggested you correct and working rules but that would need Apache web server. – anubhava Aug 18 '14 at 08:52
We contacted them, they do not know how to do. Is there a possibility to buy and pay for a new server where http and moving him to apache, would that solve the problem? – Emina Pollerman Aug 18 '14 at 09:00
Yes having Apache will definitely help. Meanwhile you can search Nginx help for redirecting http to https. – anubhava Aug 18 '14 at 09:24
Dear, which version of my Nginx ? – Emina Pollerman Aug 18 '14 at 10:43
I cannot find it out. Only your server admins can give you that info. – anubhava Aug 18 '14 at 10:45
