HTTP to HTTPS via mod_rewrite
To redirect a website from http -> https I utilized mod_rewrite. And created a .htaccess file with the following contents.
$ cat .htaccess
Options FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} !^443$
RewriteRule ^(.*) https://your_server.com/$1
This can be useful if you need to ensure all access to your site, is done via HTTPS.
Thank you, this was PERFECT… I tried another popular rewrite, but it wouldn’t work.. this one worked for me.
Thanks! Glad we could help.
I only want to run some of the pages on SSL and want site to switch back to non SSL when accessed other pages.
How can I do this?
e.g. http://your_server.com/cart/* should run on SSL but any other URL should be on http.
Thanks
If your web server is running Apache, you may want to look at mod_rewrite (http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_rewrite.html).
The code below is a start:
RewriteRule ^/(cart/.*) https://your_server.com/$1
