XF 1.4 Https to http redirection using htaccess

[Jattitude]

Hello,

I have recently removed ssl and would like to keep my website to http but I am unable to get my hands on a code that I must add to redirect my https urls to http.

I would appreciate if you could provide me with the code that I need to add in my htaccess file and where in that file.

What I find every where is http to https but I want the opposite.

Add the red code to your .htaccess file to force no ssl:

#	Mod_security can interfere with uploading of content such as attachments. If you
#	cannot attach files, remove the "#" from the lines below.
#<IfModule mod_security.c>
#	SecFilterEngine Off
#	SecFilterScanPOST Off
#</IfModule>

ErrorDocument 401 default
ErrorDocument 403 default
ErrorDocument 404 default
ErrorDocument 500 default

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
	RewriteEngine On

	RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 443
	RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://yoursite.com/$1 [R,L]

	#	If you are having problems with the rewrite rules, remove the "#" from the
	#	line that begins "RewriteBase" below. You will also have to change the path
	#	of the rewrite to reflect the path to your XenForo installation.
	#RewriteBase /xenforo

	#	This line may be needed to enable WebDAV editing with PHP as a CGI.
	#RewriteRule .* - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization}]

	RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
	RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -l [OR]
	RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
	RewriteRule ^.*$ - [NC,L]
	RewriteRule ^(data/|js/|styles/|install/|favicon\.ico|crossdomain\.xml|robots\.txt) - [NC,L]
	RewriteRule ^.*$ index.php [NC,L]
</IfModule>

Thank you so much. Works perfectly

Removing SSL = epic fail.

Removing SSL = epic fail.

Not if you need certain features. I'm currently trying some stuff with HTML5 and calls to JS that depend upon API's from a couple of other sites... and guess what. They don't DO SSL. So, now you have a major problem as you can't use the content.

OK, sorry to bring this thread back, but I have an issue with redirect. All was setup and no matter what URL someone would type, as long as it had the website address, it would land on a redirection page with a short blurb.

After a server reboot, it's not doing this anymore. Looking at my htaccess file now, I don't know what to do with this. Or should I basically just do a redirect from the CPanel?

This is what I have right now.

RewriteEngine on

## EXPIRES CACHING ##
<IfModule mod_expires.c>

Thanks for any help,

What are you trying to do? My post in this thread is about enforcing no SSL.

Hi Jake,

Yes, I figured finally...

I added this line of code to my root htaccess file:

ErrorDocument 404 http://www.vi-control.net/404.shtml

And now it doesn't matter what URL is entered, as long as there is http://www.vi-control.net/ as a prefix, it will end up on my custom 404.shtml page.

So all good!

Regards,

Andre
