XF 2.0 Force HTTPS and new domain name via htaccess?

[ge66]

Today I have http://www.example.com/ as my domain.
I want to rewrite it to https://www.example.se/ via .htaccess

Force https and .se and www.

Thanks for any quick help.

Force https:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]

 

[ge66]

That I know, but I also want to force the new domain and www. in front?

 

[Mr Lucky]

various ways to redirect a domain, try this:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
  RewriteEngine On
  RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^olddomain.com$ [OR]
  RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.olddomain.com$
  RewriteRule (.*)$ http://www.newdomain.com/$1 [R=301,L]
</IfModule>

 

[ge66]

But this last one would not force https?
I guess just changing the last RewriteRule to https would fix that?

And would it rewrite https://www.olddomain.com, does ^ mean both http and https?

Sorry for all the questions, I think it is kind of important to get this absolutely right, so people find the millions of posts on my board

Would this work?

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www.newdomain\.se$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.newdomain.se/$1 [R=301,L]

Would [R=301,L,QSA] be wrong?

 

[Mr Lucky]

I would use both, the https after the domain.

I've never used both together, so test it first.

 

[Mr Lucky]

Thing is you need them separeta, unless I'm misubderstang.

In your old domain root directory you add the domain redirect. Then in the new domain you used the https redirect.

 

[Mr Lucky]

Just found that something as simple as this in the old domain might work (well it has for me on one of my sites)

Redirect 301 / https://newdomain.com/

But I still think you should force https in the new domain.

(Disclaimer: I'm not an expert, I often just use trial and error)

What I do is use cloudflares "redirect to https" feature and then add the Force WWW in .htaccess essentially doing both. If you don't have cloudflare then there may be a better method but you can use both code for https and forcing WWW. Either way is fine.

I ended up using:

    RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on  [OR]
    RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www.example\.se$ [NC]
    RewriteRule ^ https://www.example.se%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]

I think it might work.
Please till me if you think there is something there that is wrong.
