Redirect to https

[etienne7702]

Hi

I have setup SSL up and works when i type https://www.domain.com.
When i type domain.com or www.domain.com i get error site cant be reach.
I read you can do this in your .htaccess file, but its not working.

My .htaccess file looks like this

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI}
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

That is because there is no vhost for the domain on port 80 so the web has no idea how to direct it.
I am not sure what tutorial you used to add SSL, but you possibly missed one little step:

1. Module Admin>Apache Admin>Override A Virtual Host Setting>[select domain]>
   
2. Port Override = 443
   
3. Forward Port 80 to Overriden Port = check
   
4. Save and wait ~5 mins for the new vhost to be generated and reloaded

Hi

I used the following

I have done the steps.

here is the /etc/sentora/configs/apache/httpd-vhost.conf

Start your custom vhost with </virtualhost>.
Edit: And don't end with </VirtualHost> on your custom vhost entre, this is a bit weird with Sentora but it works like this.

[etienne7702]

Thanks

But Apache fails to start then

Syntax error

Maybe my eyes are missing it, here's mine:

they look the same

Ok, just to review... remove the http/https redirect from the .htaccess
Use the port forward in the domain's custom vhost entry section (Module Admin>Apache Config>Override a Virtual Host>[select domain]

Port Override = 443
Forward Port 80 to Overriden Port = check

[etienne7702]

Have removed redirect from .htaccess

Code:

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

edited vhost
Port Override = 443
Forward Port 80 to Overriden Port = check

These are also checked.
Domain Enabled: = check
Suhosin Enabled: = check
OpenBase Enabled: = check

[TGates]

Correct.
