htaccess - Redirect domain HTTPS to HTTP

Question

I need to redirect https://sampledomain.com.au OR https://www.sampledomain.com.au to http://www.sampledomain.com

So far this is my .htaccess condition but it's not working:

RewriteCond %{HTTPS} on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^sampledomain\.com\.au$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.sampledomain\.com\.au$
RewriteRule (.*) http://sampledomain.com/$1 [R=301,L]

What seems to be the problem/error? Thanks a lot :)

This single rule will meet both the requirements:

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{HTTPS} on [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^sampledomain\.com\.au$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^ http://www.sampledomain.com%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L,NE]

Hi @anubhava I tried your solution and it redirected to this one: https : // sampledomain.com.au/cgi-sys/defaultwebpage.cgi Not sure why is that happening. – marknt15 Mar 26 '15 at 06:30
That might be be due to your other rules and config. As you can see there is no reference to `cgi` here. Post your full .htaccess in question. – anubhava Mar 26 '15 at 06:32
I checked the .htaccess and there is no redirect to any "defaultwebpage.cgi". Maybe the website SSL is not legit, not existing or not properly configured? – marknt15 Mar 26 '15 at 06:43
SSL configuration cannot add `/cgi-sys/defaultwebpage.cgi`. It could be only due to some code/faulty rules. – anubhava Mar 26 '15 at 06:49
we'll try to buy an SSL certificate so that we'll have https then try to add an index.html or index.php so that if https: // sampledomain.com.au is accessed then index.html will be read then it will do the redirect hopefully to http://www.sampledomain.com – marknt15 Mar 30 '15 at 00:24

You better try this

    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteCond %{HTTPS} on
    RewriteRule (.*) http://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]

Upvote if worked

Hi @Ujjwal I tried your answer and got redirected to: https : // sampledomain.com.au/cgi-sys/defaultwebpage.cgi too – marknt15 Mar 26 '15 at 06:44
@marknt15 please search defaultwebpage.cgi on whole folder of you site.You may find the code. and remove if not necessary. – Ujjwal Mar 26 '15 at 07:06

The following finally solved problem for me:

Redirecting all https and/OR www requests to non-https and non-www and all its subdirectories.

https://sampledomain.com.au/ to http://sampledomain.com.au/

https://www.sampledomain.com.au/ to http://sampledomain.com.au/

http://www.sampledomain.com.au/ to http://sampledomain.com.au/

added to my .htaccess file:

RewriteCond %{HTTPS} on [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.sampledomain.com.au [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*) http://sampledomain.com.au/$1 [L,R=301]

Mind you, NOT escaping the "." with "\." in the RewriteCond

Worked on my shared hosting (escaping the "." with "\." did not work on my hosting, to my surprise)
