Answered Evo + SSL + .htaccess

    I intend on changing one of my sites from "http" to "https" shortly, but am not sure how to go about changing the .htaccess file.

    At the moment I re-direct "non www" to "www" and as such the same should apply with https.

    My current re-write looks like this:

    Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^domain.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*) http://www.domain.com/$1 [R=301,L]


    Can anyone help out ?

    Does anyone already have an SEO friendly re-direct from "HTTP" to "HTTPS" including re-directing "non www" to "www" ?

    Just for info: this is the whole website, not just the manager

    Thanks for your time

      On configurationtab you can choose Server type: https but not sure if it does anything. Probably [(site_url)]?!

      Here my .htaccess which does the job for me: 

      AddDefaultCharset utf-8

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} ^.*internal\ dummy\ connection.*$ [NC]
RewriteRule .* - [F,L]

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

RewriteRule ^(manager|assets)/.*$ - [L]
RewriteRule \.(jpg|jpeg|png|gif|ico)$ - [L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?q=$1 [L,QSA]


RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !^on$
RewriteRule (.*) https://www.domain-here.nl/$1 [R,L]

RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} !=443
RewriteRule (.*) https://www.domain-here.nl/$1 [R=301,L]

        I see you have "rewrite engine on" twice - is that necessary ?

        Can you break the following down ?

        RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.%1/$1 [R=permanent,L] .

        Cheers

          Aha, didn't see that, you can remove the lowest one.

          I have edited my post.
