.htaccess redirect http to https
.htaccess, apache
Solution
Update 2016
As this answer receives some attention, I want to hint to a more recommended way on doing this using Virtual Hosts: Apache: Redirect SSL
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName mysite.example.com
Redirect permanent / https://mysite.example.com/
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost _default_:443>
ServerName mysite.example.com
DocumentRoot /usr/local/apache2/htdocs
SSLEngine On
# etc...
</VirtualHost>
Old answer, hacky thing given that your ssl-port is not set to 80, this will work:
RewriteEngine on
# force ssl
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} ^80$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{SERVER_NAME}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R]
Note that this should be your first rewrite rule.
Edit: This code does the following. The RewriteCond(ition) checks wether the ServerPort of the request is 80 (which is the default http-port, if you specified another port, you would have to adjust the condition to it). If so, we match the whole url `(.*)` and redirect it to a https-url. `%{SERVER_NAME}` may be replaced with a specific url, but this way you don't have to alter the code for other projects. `%{REQUEST_URI}` is the portion of the url after the TLD (top-level-domain), so you will be redirected to where you came from, but as https.
Problem
I have an old url (`www1.test.net`) and I would like to redirect it to `https://www1.test.net` I have implemented and installed our SSL certificate on my site. This is my old file `.htaccess`: ``` RewriteEngine On RewriteRule !\.(js|gif|jpg|png|css|txt)$ public/index.php [L] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/public/ RewriteRule ^(.*)$ public/$1 [L] ``` How can I configure my `.htaccess` file so that url auto redirect to `https`? Thanks!
