Hello,

I'm in the process of moving from one provider to another, the provider i came from had https, but the new one doesn't have. now i can't get my site up and running.

tryed to alter the .htacces file to remove the redirect but that didn't solve.

this is the new file
Code:
#    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 405 default
ErrorDocument 406 default
ErrorDocument 500 default
ErrorDocument 501 default
ErrorDocument 503 default

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On

    #    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

    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>

please need help
 
I think the bigger question is...why are you moving away from https? Understand your users are going to begin getting errors in the browsers, you're going to be penalized by Google, etc. I think your biggest priority should be putting a SSL cert. on your site on the new server.
 
because of budget we moving from server a to server b, new ssl certificate is ordered. so it will be up and running in a couple days.
 
I rather thought a request for a site with https that could not be fulfilled just reverted to the old http version...


Extra-added warnings, of course, but no-one takes any notice of those.
