XF 1.5 Redirect https to just one page

[Mr Lucky]

Does anyone know the best way with .htaccess to redirct just one page to https?

e.g. I want to redirect http://domain.com/pages/sales to https://domain.com/pages/sales

A normal Redirect 301 / doesn't seem to work.

I also need to make sure that after leaving that page, all other pages are still http

Thanks!

Add these rules to the top of the .htaccess file in your web root:

	RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 80
	RewriteRule ^(pages/sales/?)$ https://domain.com/$1 [R,L]
	RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 443
	RewriteRule ^(pages/sales/?)$ - [S=1]
	RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://domain.com/$1 [R,L]

Thanks jake, but sadly is not working, it gives me a 404 for the entire site when I try it with my xenforo site. On another (wordpress) site I get this:

Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete.

This problem can sometimes be caused by disabling or refusing to accept cookies.

Hmm. Try this:

	RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 80
	RewriteRule ^(pages/sales/?)$ https://domain.com/$1 [R,L]

	RewriteRule ^(pages/sales/?)$ - [S=1]
	RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 443
	RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://domain.com/$1 [R,L]

The logic is a bit squirrelly, but I think this new order of rules will work correctly, whereas the old order was an error on my part.

uhhhh, or this is probably better...

	RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 80
	RewriteRule ^(pages/sales/?)$ https://domain.com/$1 [R,L]

	RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 443
	RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !pages/sales/?$
	RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://domain.com/$1 [R,L]

Thanks for your suggestions Jake, and I apologise as I meant to reply sooner.

So far the tests I have done are still not working. I will try again today, doublechecking in case I got something wrong. It has been suggested by my host @MattW that the issue may be that /pages/ is not a real folder as such.

I get the same issue when I try on my Wordpress site which again has a URL structure that looks like a real directory on the server but isn't.

EDIT: I have also tried doing a redirect via cpanel and that doesn't work either.

I can take a look if you PM me your info

 

[Mr Lucky]

jake, that is brilliant! thank you.

Let me just first double check i haven't done anything stupid

Hello, how do I redirect ONLY my "domain.com/forums/" to "domain.com/pages/page-title/" without disrupting my actual forums & threads where users are posting?

Would want these type of links to remain active and working - domain.com/forums/forum-title/

Would like to only redirect the main /forums/ page.

Similar question: I would like to force HTTPS only on the /account directory.

I found some instructions that suggested placing an .htaccess file in the /account directory, but there is not an actual directory on the server by this name.

Any suggestions on how to accomplish this? What I am trying to do is secure the account upgrades page for Stripe credit card entry.

Thanks.

I apparently failed to create a working rule for this. But this is probably not advisable anyways. Just make everything https to ensure consistency and to avoid possible problems with mixed content and cookies.

maybe it's possible with nginx?
