How to redirect all traffic to https & non-www ?

Question

I’m running Ubuntu 14.04 incl. SSL certificate via Serverpilot. I’m looking for a way to redirect all website traffic in the following order:

all http --> https all www --> non-www

Here’s what I have in my htaccess file:

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.(.*)
RewriteRule ^.*$ https://%1/$1 [R=301,L]

This works in Firefox but in Chrome & Safari (incl. iOS) it doesn’t redirect to https if I call my website via “non-ssl / non-www”.

An update on an older topic in case anyone stumbles upon it To redirect non-www to www URLs using both Nginx or Apache, you can use the following configurations. First, we’ll provide the Nginx example, and then the Apache example using .htaccess rules. Nginx Configuration: Open your Nginx site configuration file in a text editor. This file is usually located in /etc/nginx/sites-available/ or /etc/nginx/conf.d/ and typically has a .conf extension, like example.com.conf. Add the following server block configuration to redirect non-www to www: server { listen 80; server_name example.com; return 301 $scheme://www.example.com$request_uri; } server { listen 80; server_name www.example.com; # Your existing Nginx configuration for www.example.com goes here } Replace example.com with your actual domain name. This configuration listens for requests to example.com and redirects them to www.example.com using a 301 (permanent) redirect. Save the file and exit the text editor. Test the Nginx configuration to ensure there are no syntax errors: sudo nginx -t If the test is successful, reload Nginx to apply the changes: sudo systemctl reload nginx Apache Configuration using .htaccess: Create an .htaccess file in the root directory of your website if it doesn’t already exist. Add the following code to your .htaccess file to redirect non-www to www: RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^example\.com [NC] RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.example.com/$1 [L,R=301] Replace `example.com` with your actual domain name. Save the .htaccess file. Test your Apache configuration by accessing your website in a web browser without the www prefix (e.g., http://example.com). It should automatically redirect to the www version (e.g., http://www.example.com). Both the Nginx and Apache configurations provided above will redirect visitors from non-www URLs to www URLs. Make sure to adjust the domain name accordingly in the configuration examples.

I use .htaccess RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off RewriteRule (.*) https://example.com%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301,NC] RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.example.com [NC] RewriteRule (.*) https://example.com%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301,NC]
