 .htaccess Simple Rewrite Question
G'Day,
I'm working on a site and I want to redirect users in the following fashion;
If they visit http://www.site.com/payment or http://site.com/payment
I want to redirect them to http s://www.site.com/payment
I'm sure its possible I just don't know how to do it.
Also I have this code
Code:
RewriteRule ^about/$ about [R]
Which should just get rid of the slash off the address name but it doesn't. It redirects the user to;
http://www.site.com/home/myusername/public_html/about/
Which is not correct. Does anyone know how to fix this?
Thank You!

You could also, just put a index.php file in the payment folder of www.site.com like:
PHP Code:
<?php
header("Location: https://www.site.com/payment/");
?>

Code:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.domain\.com/payment$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://domain.com/payment$1 [R=301,L]
Maybe?

Thanks MaxS. My only problem is I already use Rewrite so will putting RewriteCond in there cause any issues?
Also Garrett, wouldn't have cause a permanent loop?

I would do that in two seperate steps.
Why not have all traffic for site.com, redirect to www.site.com (better for search engine rankings). You're probably worried here since the SSL certificate is for www.site.com, and not for site.com, but better to redirect all traffic I think.
Then in the payment page I would add the https check in the php as someone previously described. You can also do the https check just for that page with rewrite rules, I found this link which should be helpful:

I think it will work. Your best bet is to try it. I'm not a mod_rewrite expert.

How? https and http would be 2 different pages right :S

Having the www and no-www shouldn't effect SEO should it? Anyway, I checked out the whoopis.com site and it was helpful as I found out a few things but I followed what they said and I only managed to redirect traffic from http://site.com/payment to http://www.site.com/payment/ (Notice the slashes at the end) It would only redirect traffic without a slash and it still wouldn't move them to the HTTPS.
I think I might have to do some more hunting...

I tried out your code and it worked the same as the above one. It just put a slash on the end and moved them to the www version. Still no HTTPS no matter how much I change it

I have seen this on some servers, different folders are setup httpsdocs and httpdocs. Unfortunately my server uses the one file for both versions

Very much so, espically for Google. Google treats the 2 pages as distinct urls, so seeing the same content on both can result in duplicate content penalties, and having 2 urls may affect your page rank. If people link to different urls, ie, the one with the www has one page rank, and the one without the www has its own page rank. If you setup the redirecting correctly, you'd get a combined rank based on all the links.
Anyway, I checked out the whoopis.com site and it was helpful as I found out a few things but I followed what they said and I only managed to redirect traffic from http://site.com/payment to http://www.site.com/payment/ (Notice the slashes at the end) It would only redirect traffic without a slash and it still wouldn't move them to the HTTPS. |
If you post the htaccess rules you're using now I should be able to help you figure what's wrong...

Thanks for that Mubs.
I think I will change over the htaccess file so that only www. versions of my site can be found 
I also fixed up the SSL thing. Someone sent me this code.
Code:
if($_SERVER['ssl_access'] != 1 && $_SERVER['HTTPS'] != on)
header("Location: https://www.yourdomain.tld/$_SERVER[SCRIPT_URL]");
Thanks for all your help
