Question

Redirect HTTP to HTTPS while including subdirectory/file

  • Posted on January 26, 2015

I am having trouble redirecting http://tix.kiwi/atd (or any folder/file) to https://tix.kiwi/atd. It appears to redirect to https://tix.kiwiatd instead - which of course isn’t even a valid domain.

This is the code I’m using:

 RewriteEngine On
 RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^tix\.kiwi [NC]
 RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
 RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI}

I’ve restarted apache, and I’ve also tried to look at my apache error log, but nothing shows up when logging is enabled via:

 LogLevel alert rewrite:trace8

Try this in your .htaccess instead:

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