redirecting www. to https

Question

My website url looks like www.[site-name].com

I want to redirect to https://www.[site-name].com on .htaccess with following code.

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 80 
RewriteRule ^.*$ https://%{SERVER_NAME}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301, L]

I copy the file to ftp at this path: httpdocs/.htaccess

But it does not redirect to [site-name].com when I try to load www.[site-name].com. How can I solve this?

It does not redirect to https://www.[site-name].com when i try to load www.[site-name].com — , Mar 11 '17 at 21:08

@Onur Are you testing on a real server or localhost? – Luca Jung Mar 11 '17 at 21:17

If you want to redirect non-www url to www url , for both http and https use this ;

RewriteEngine on

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

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

If you want to redirect www to non-www url use this ;

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^example\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.example.com/$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{HTTPS_HOST} ^example\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.example.com/$1 [R=301,L]

or without using domainname ;

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.(.*) [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*) http://%1/$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{HTTPS_HOST} ^www\.(.*) [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*) https://%1/$1 [R=301,L]

If you wish to redirect http to https just change target from http:// to https:// in directives below the HTTP_HOST lines — Erdinç Çorbacı, Mar 05 '18 at 13:48
