You might find this unbelievable and laughable but I need to reach out for some help. How do I write a 301 redirect code please? I've got an old site that the ssl had expired and just purchased a new one but need to set the redirect. So say I want every version redirecting to hxxps://www.ImADivvy.com what is the exact text I need to add to htaccess please? so hxxp//ImADivvy.com, hxxp://www.ImADivvy.com all redirect to the correct domain?

cheers

Hi Aidan.
Probably you have an option in your domain's cPanel to renew SSL certificates. If you do so, then your service provider will automatically use hxxps by default. Also, maybe there is a manual option in your cPanel to redirect everything to hxxps. But, if you can not find these, then copying the following five lines in your .htaccess will solve your problem.

Sorry, I can not show you. I tried to type in, but the AFG system popped up a message, that I can not share links, however, it wasn't a link. Then I tried upload an image, but the same message...

:) Problem solved. Put the three parts of the link together. On the resulting link, you will find the necessary code.

That is a domain name and a half mate. Could be used as a personal website for the prime minister if he wants it ;)

Try this, i use it on one of my sites and works:

Code:
# Force HTTPS
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule .* https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.
RewriteRule .* https://www.%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]

http: + http://www. + https:
301 to
https://www.

Edited - Thanks for pointing out the code in posts Aussie!

You're talking about just redirecting http to https for the same domain, right?

Tbh it's so common you can do this directly with a lot of hosts without using htaccess - eg: both cpanel and plesk have options to force ssl.

Just an FYI for those adding code directly to their post(s)... Instead, the code should be enclosed in the following. Using this format, URL's etc aren't converted to active links:

[ code ]

[/ code ]

NB - spaces only added to prevent tags not displaying. If your using this format, you would not use spaces ;)

EG - here's an example using the above:

Code:
placing code into this formatted area, will display said coding and not active linking https://www.whateverdomain.com
url isn't converted to a clickable link!
