Hi,<br>
<br>
(I apologize if this comes through twice, the first time didn't show up
in the list. This is my first time contributing and maybe I didn't wait
long enough or something.)<br>
<br>
Two things. First about the www since you may have solved the rest, and
then what Apache says about .htaccess. I assume you are using Apache
and have a Virtual Private Server hosting account.<br>
<br>
1) Do you have something like the following in your httpd.conf file?
The first part should take care or you www access problem and the
second part changes http requests into https requests.<br>
<br>
<VirtualHost *:80><br>
ServerName yourdomain.com<br>
ServerAlias <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated"
href="http://www.yourdomain.com">www.yourdomain.com</a><br>
DocumentRoot /var/www/html<br>
### next 3 lines change http access to https ###<br>
RewriteEngine On<br>
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off<br>
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="https://www.yourdomain.com$1">https://www.yourdomain.com$1</a>
[R=301,L]<br>
</VirtualHost><br>
<br>
2) I would put the above in your httpd.conf file instead of .htaccess.
The reason for this is explained in the Apache documentation at
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="http://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/howto/htaccess.html">http://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/howto/htaccess.html</a>
in the <b>When
(not) to use .htaccess files</b> section. Part is quoted below, but
there is more:<br>
<br>
"In general, you should never use <code>.htaccess</code> files unless
you don't have access to the main server configuration file. There is,
for example, a prevailing misconception that user authentication should
always be done in <code>.htaccess</code> files. This is simply not the
case. You can put user authentication configurations in the main server
configuration, and this is, in fact, the preferred way to do things."<br>
<br>
I hope this helps and that I have not misunderstood your problem.<br>

<div>Are you on a Linux server? I think you are talking
about using a mod_rewrite solution which, I think, only works on Linux.</div>

</div>
<div>mod_rewrite is incredibly powerful and fussy. I
wouldn't risk advising you on the actual script.</div>

<div>I actually think this kind of question might best be
handled by the support team at your server company. I'm not saying you

is another route to go.</div>
