SSL - Redirection Loop
Hello,
I guess from the title some people can understand what the problem is.
So I am trying to force ssl using htaccess file with the following rule
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 80
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://example.com/$1 [R=301,L]
I can access most the site with that but at some subfolders all I get is a redirection loop error.
I would do this the virtual host way but this is on a shared hosting enviroment.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
George

Not that it would probably change anything in this case, but I'd rather go for the HTTPS flag than the port.
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} onAnyhow, do the logs say anything? Any special URL structure? Can you post a link that doesnt work?
Yeah tried that as well. Didn't work though.
No special URL Structure and according to host it should work based on their server's configuration.
I prefer not to share the link cause its a colleagues site and not mine.
I searched a bit and found numerous different opinions about cleaning cookies and system time and all that.
None of these worked.
I am thinking if its possible that the problem is with the SSL Certificate but I personally never saw that before.
Didnt expect it to change anything. Its just the better approach IMHO.
If you wish PM it.
To be honest, neither sounds too much related. But you never know of course. Without URL impossible to say.
Hey thanks for helping.
Just got an email from the host saying it was a mis-configuration in their system. (BS I say..)
Anyway now it works fine, although I am wondering what mistake they made.
Thanks though.

Observed similar thing with force re-write rule and force SSL option of WHMCS. It got stuck in infinite loop.
Thats the first place I looked for a solution but nothing worked.
Actually all the info I got from there were correct and it should have worked just fine but the host had something wrong in their server configuration.
Whats new in there?
