FWIW, my .htaccess file is in the public_html folder.

I think you've missed the .com from the end of the url.

Re: redirect to https

Post by mrwillow »

This whole SSL situation has driven me crazy, particularly as it seems like money for old rope. Ok, yep - I then spotted the missing .com.

So, again - below is the revised code, placed in a .htaccess file, which is connected to my home page via File Publisher add-on, which uploads into the public_html folder within my main folder within the control panel. And the result is... yoursite.com still have it.

Help !

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.theavenuemotionpicturecompany\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.theavenuemotionpicturecompany.com/$1 [L,R=301]

Clear your cache and reload the browser.
I have loaded your site and the https://... version now works.

Something is still wrong though.
The www and the http:// method should be automatically redirected to https:// but it isn’t.
Also I am now getting an error message “Too many redirects ...”
I am not an expert in .htaccess syntax so I can’t help there.
You could contact the host again unless anyone here can help.

Ok, I think problem solved. The second code offered earlier works, with adapting to my specific URL. And the .htaccess file must sit in the main folder, but not within the public_html folder. Can you please test at your end and confirm, thank you.

Scrap that... the site is not secure. This is driving me nuts.

If you upload your site to the public_html folder then I would put the .htaccess file there (that's where mine is).
And delete (or remove the code) from the other version (in the root?).
The https:// works but it's just not redirecting www nor http://

Do I use the first or second suggested code?

Sorry, I do not know enough about the syntax to advise you (I don't want to guess).
I would contact your host.

When I did mine I discovered the .htaccess file already existed and had other host related instructions in it. It was a hidden file, only visible via the control panel access, File Manager. I added the following code to the bottom of file then saved / Applied changes. Has worked ever since.

Code: Select all

RewriteEngine on

RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.
RewriteRule ^ https://www.yourdomainname%{REQUEST_URI} [NE,L,R]
Just checking now and whatever you have done it seems to work fine here.
As a side comment your site took a while to load. Wondering if you need to optimize images or special effects in some way.
Interestingly in looking at the Team I found my twin in Ed Clee. Couldn't believe what i was seeing.

Yep, it's all being redirected correctly now.
What was the solution?

Perhaps time and a server refresh?

Hi all,

Thank you for your help. This was a headache (and for a site like mine an SSL certificate seems like money for old rope). Anyway, I have had a message from help at 123-Reg, and it looks like someone there rewrote the code. For future reference, it is the following. Thank you, D.

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