Redirecting to https://

[anton.serjogin]

Greetings forum!

I am a noob and getting started with my own website in order to grasp the knowledge of the Internet.

So there is a question about redirecting...
For instance, I have a website which is accessible via several types:
1) www.example.com
2) http://example.com
3) https://example.com

How do I set that all of the address-alternatives get redirected to https://example.com or https://www.example.com? Is it somehow possible via the cnc? Sorry for the dumb question, but can not find any straightforward information concerning the topic.

Best Regards, Anton.

You would need to create an .htaccess file in your /www directory and add the following code to it:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 80
RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]

And the following Knowledgebase article explains how to create an .htaccess file and upload it to your account:

Unfortunately, the redirection is not working...
I have created a "redirect.htaccess" file in the needed directory with the code mentioned above.
Should I edit something in the code or not? I'm confused.

The File name must be .htaccess

Hello, Bob.

One last question - how can I redirect the following:

http://example.com => https://example.com

This is the only thing that does not get redirected.

Thanks in advance.

As far as I can tell your domain is redirecting from:

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

To change that you would change the domain in your redirect from www.

However if you use the exact code referenced earlier in this thread I believe http://domain.com would redirect to https://domain.com and http://www.domain.com would redirect to https://www.domain.com

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 80
RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]

Yes, I have already created an extra condition which does:

http://www.example.com => https://www.example.com

Sorry, what I meant was a redirection of the following:

http://example.com => https://www.example.com
