Question

How to redirect from :

• https://www.example.com
• http://www.example.com
• http://example.com

to :

• https://example.com

How can I do this with .htaccess file?

Answer 1

you can do that by add this code to .htacces file

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 80
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://example.com/$1 [L,R=301]

note if you want remove www from url

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

Answer 2

Define a middleware for removing www from the url using below command php artisan make:middleware RedirectToNonWwwMiddleware and write below code in handle method of that middleware

public function handle($request, Closure $next)
    {
        if (substr($request->header('host'), 0, 4) == 'www.') {
            $request->headers->set('host', config('app.url'));
            $trailing = $request->path() == '/' ? '' : '/';
            return \Redirect::to(config('app.url') . $trailing . $request->path());
        }
        return $next($request);
    }

Add the middleware to the array of $middleware inside app\Http\Kernel.php file like below

protected $middleware = [

    // Other middlewares ...

    \App\Http\Middleware\RedirectToNonWwwMiddleware::class,
];

Define the url inside your .env file with https like below

APP_URL=https://example.com

At last clear the config cache by running php artisan config:clear.

Answer 3

I found the best answer to my question :

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

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

RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 80
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://example.com/$1 [L,R=301]

It supported all of positions that I said.

You can test it in : Test .htaccess

so you can redirect from :

• https://www.example.com
• http://www.example.com
• http://example.com

to :

• https://example.com

with that code.
