How can I redirect http to https?

  • 772

I've installed ssl on both my pure-domain and www subdomain. They works as well. I need to redirect all http protocol requests to https. Here is the config of the apache:

<VirtualHost *:80>

    ServerName lamtakam.com

    ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
    DocumentRoot /var/www/html/myweb

    ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
    CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined

    RewriteEngine on
    RewriteCond %{SERVER_NAME} =lamtakam.com
    RewriteRule ^ https://%{SERVER_NAME}%{REQUEST_URI} [END,NE,R=permanent]

</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName www.lamtakam.com
    DocumentRoot /var/www/html/myweb

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{SERVER_NAME} =lamtakam.com [OR]
RewriteCond %{SERVER_NAME} =www.lamtakam.com
RewriteRule ^ https://%{SERVER_NAME}%{REQUEST_URI} [END,NE,R=permanent]

</VirtualHost>

<Directory /var/www/html/myweb>
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
    AllowOverride All
    Order allow,deny
    allow from all
</Directory>

Any idea how can I make that redirection? Currently some cases works as expected and that redirection happens. The only domain that redirection doesn't happen for it is:

Noted that this doesn't work: (however not sure if I place it correctly in the configuration)

RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?lamtakam\.com$
RewriteRule ^ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [END,NE,R=permanent]
server apache2 https 16.04

  1. This used to work but is not recommended as of somewhere in 2010 even. So don't use this:

    RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?lamtakam\.com$
RewriteRule ^ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [END,NE,R=permanent]

    Those would have been added to .htaccess.

    You should be using this (from the same link):

    <VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName www.examples.com
    Redirect / https://www.examples.com/
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:443>
    ServerName www.examples.com
    # ... SSL 
</VirtualHost>
