I currently have our Magento website to redirect http to https. Basically the site should only be accessed through https including the www.

I think it is working however, it currently shows as a 302 redirect and I'd like to make this into a 301. Could someone let me know how to get this working? I've tried a few different things using the .htaccess but no luck. In fact when the 301 redirect is in the .htaccess file non of our existing redirect works and instead goes straight to the homepage this is the main problem I have.

# Redirect all "not correct" domain to www with https
# (is not important if comes with or without https):
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www.gloveclub.co.uk$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.gloveclub.co.uk/$1 [L,R=301]

# Redirect all non-ssl to ssl.
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.gloveclub.co.uk/$1 [R,L]

My original .htaccess file contents are below;

    Can you post your existing redirect code? – Craig Watson Jun 03 '15 at 11:49
  • # Redirect all "not correct" domain to www with https # (is not important if comes with or without https): RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www.gloveclub.co.uk/$ [NC] RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.gloveclub.co.uk//$1 [L,R=301] # Redirect all non-ssl to ssl. RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.gloveclub.co.uk/$1 [R,L] – p4rma Jun 03 '15 at 11:57

    You'll need to add it to your question, with formatting. – Craig Watson Jun 03 '15 at 12:02
  • Ok thanks, will work out how to format this properly and add to original question – p4rma Jun 03 '15 at 12:04

It seems you have two separate problems.

First is the HTTPS redirect - the snippet below will redirect all traffic from HTTP to HTTPS, regardless of its destination, with a HTTP 301 code:

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

You then want to redirect non-www requests, again with a 301 response code:

RewriteCond %{HTTPS} on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^gloveclub.co.uk [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.gloveclub.co.uk/$1 [L,R=301]

Note that the ordering of these redirects is important - you want to catch the HTTP redirect before your non-www redirect, and your second rule will only apply to HTTPS requests.

  • So you're saying if I put it in the correct order I won't have the same issue? I tried the above in both orders however, the requested path redirects to the homepage. – p4rma Jun 03 '15 at 14:43
  • Unfortunately I can't replicate your problem - for me, every request works as intended. Have you tried clearing your browser cache or using a different browser or computer? – Craig Watson Jun 03 '15 at 14:45
  • Hi, I've removed the above code from the .htaccess file. However, I can try again now and clear cache and reindex. – p4rma Jun 03 '15 at 14:49
  • I see however, that code still hasn't been added to the .htaccess file so currently these are all 302 redirects. When I do add the code it always redirects to the homepage. – p4rma Jun 03 '15 at 15:21
  • Do you have any other rules in your .htaccess file other than the redirects? If yes, can you add the entire contents of the file to your question? – Craig Watson Jun 03 '15 at 15:41
  • I've added the contents of the .htaccess file however, I've omitted any of the redirect commands. – p4rma Jun 03 '15 at 16:35
  • Hi Craig, did you have a chance to look at the htaccess file above? – p4rma Jun 05 '15 at 12:48
