.htaccess redirect

[Carlos_Santos]

Hi,

Before putting a .htaccess file, I could access my website with “https://” or “https://www” putting “http://” or “http://www” in the URL, but after, the .htaccess file does not redirect it to “https://” or “https://www”.

Thank you!

Hello there,

Try this rule instead:

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

It works! Thank you very much!

One more question, if I want to put a button and when I click on it, it redirects me to “https://www.(mydomain)/example”. Have I to change it on .htaccess?

If I understand you correctly, you want to create a button but when someone wants to manually click it, they will be redirected to "https://www.(yourdomain).com?

If so, then you do not need to add additional htaccess rule, you will only need to edit your code like this for example (An HTML code example):

<form action="https://www.(yourdomain).com">
    <input type="submit" value="WWW with HTTPS" />
</form>

If you want to automatically redirect your visitors to https with the www prefix then you can use this htaccess rule instead:

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

Just make sure to change yourdomain.com to your own domain.

Ok. Thank you!
