You know when you type in digitalocean.com it automatically redirects to https://www.digitalocean.com? I want that for my site! I spent a lot of time generating (and regenerating secure certs…thanks openSSL!) and I would love to force https. The only thing is I am having redirect loops and am not sure what I am doing wrong :/
Here’s my httpd.conf: Redirect permanent / https://www.<MYDOMAINNAME>.com:443
and here’s my .htaccess: RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI}
So right now if I type in rhosfelt.com it does the automatic redirection to https, but how do I get it to do this for every subsite (/blog, /test.html etc)?
If I try to go to any other page I am getting a “This page has too many redirects” error… Your help will be appreciated! Thanks!!!

This one works for m. In my .htaccess:
RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 80 RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
Of course, this is assuming your .htaccess is working
Yes, to get .htaccess to work you must:
set AllowOverride All in your website conf file (in /etc/apache2/sites-available/yoursite.conf) like this:
<Directory /var/www/yourwebsite>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
allow from all
Require all granted
</Directory>
Enable mod_rewrite: sudo a2enmod rewrite
Reload apache: sudo service apache2 reload
Then your .htaccess file should work.
