Redirect Domains with WWW (Cpanel/WHM)

tdot

I'm having trouble setting up a config file so that if a domain is loaded as 'example.com' it will redirect to 'https://www.example.com'

I have rewrite rule to add TLS under all my accounts but obviously isn't the most efficient solution so I'd like to put it in a config (add www. and https://)

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

How do I set it up?

Simply edit your .htaccess file and put

 RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
 RewriteRule ^ https://www.%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=307,NE,L]

I hope this will work fine.

@Rayhan You might want to put a clause in that it doesn't appended www if it's already there..

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

There's a bit of duplication here, but this basically throws you to https://www. no matter where you're going, and sends a 301 which will give pagerank to https:// - possibly. It could be broken into a slightly more logical stanza, but this makes it easy enough to read.

301 are fine, don't worry about that.

Usually, this rule in .htaccess should do the trick -

RewriteEngine on RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 80 RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https\:\/\/www\.example\.com\/$1 [R,L]

However, if you are using applications like WordPress or similar, you may have to look into its 'SiteURL' settings.
