Question
Redirect non-www to www through secure connection (https/ssl)

Hi,
I want to redirect http://domain.com to https://www.domain.com?
I succeeded in redirecting http to https like this (in default-ssl.conf file):
<pre> <VirtualHost domain.com:80> RewriteEngine on ReWriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} !^443$ RewriteRule ^/?(.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [NC,R,L]
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost default:443> RewriteEngine on ServerAdmin webmaster@localhos ServerName domain.com:443 ServerAlias www.domain.com DocumentRoot /var/www/html </pre>
this works fine until I type my domain without www, then I get the error message “this site is untrusted, the certificate is only valid to www.domain.com”
My environment:
- Ubuntu 14.04
- Apache2
- SSL issued for www.domain.com (common name)
will appreciate you help thanks,

Why not simply:
I found the solution, for the people who suffered as me in finding a solution… here is the answer: <br> <br>VirtualHost domain.com:80 <br> <br> RewriteEngine on <br> ReWriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} !^443$ <br> RewriteRule ^/?(.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [NC,R,L] <br> <br>VirtualHost default:443 <br> <br> ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost <br> ServerName domain.com:443 <br> ServerAlias www.domain.com <br> DocumentRoot /var/www/html <br> RewriteEngine on <br> RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^(www.)?(.+) <br> RewriteRule ^ https://%2%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L] <br> <br>Enjoy! <br>
sorry the post does not accept programatic brackets. so first block of code is for <br>VirtualHost domian.com:80 <br> <br>the second block is for <br>VirtualHost default:443
