Hi all
I’m in the process of updating some pages from http to https. At the moment I’m just updating a single page at a time until all links and data is updated.
Which brings me to one snippet/issue I’m having right now.
RewriteRule ^/?event/([0-9]+)$ event.php?ID=$1 [L]
The rule above changeshttp://www.example.com/event?id=1234 http://www.example.com/event/1234
What I need now, is to redirect any event to the below with the https
https://www.example.com/event/1234
How would I do this?
I’ve tried a few combinations already though keeps causing issues.
Any help thanks.

You need a separate line before the line you already have:
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 80
RewriteRule ^/?event/([0-9]+)$ https://www.yourdomain.com%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]

I was so close
And would I be correct saying:
80 is used for HTTPS
%{SERVER_PORT} 80
443 is used for HTTP
%{SERVER_PORT} 443
Is that correct?
I’ve also noticed since my host installed the SSL certificate my .htaccess now has other snippets as shown below:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/[0-9]+\..+\.cpaneldcv$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/\.well-known/acme-challenge/[0-9a-zA-Z_-]+$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/\.well-known/pki-validation/[A-F0-9]{32}\.txt(?:\ Comodo\ DCV)?$
RewriteRule ^/?event/([0-9]+)$ event.php?ID=$1 [L]
Are these needed and if so, do I need to re-add them to any new rules I apply?
Another small issue I haveredirect 301 /listings.php https://www.example.com/whats-on
This redirects http://www.example.com/listings.php to https://www.example.com/whats-on http://www.example.com/whats-on it dosen’t redirect to https://www.example.com/whats-on - what rule how would I redirect the http to https in this instance?
Thanks,

No it’s actually the other way around: port 80 is HTTP and port 443 is HTTPS.
The additional RewriteCond that were added for SSL can be removed. They don’t apply.
As for the redirect that would be the same as what I posted earlier but with a different URL. Given all the information so far you should be able to figure that one out. Just shout if you need help.
Cool! Will give this a shot see if I can get things working

Thanks for clarifying.
Ok, I have now added:
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 80
RewriteRule /whats-on https://www.example.com%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
redirect 301 /listings.php https://www.example.com/whats-on
The last redirect 301 works ok. But the first RewriteRule is not working. No errors though it doesn’t redirect to the https.
I see you used^/?event/([0-9]+)$
I have only used/whats-on
Do I need to re-add the brackets or one of the other characters ^/?()$ ?
Thanks,

Does it work if you change it to ^/?whats-on
?
No
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 80
RewriteRule ^/?whats-on https://www.example.com%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
It will be something like this I’m sure.
Thanks,

Could you post the full .htaccess please?
Thanks @rpkamp
I’ve minimised for viewing, some snippets are the same but different pages that don’t apply.
Options All -Indexes
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/[0-9]+\..+\.cpaneldcv$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/\.well-known/acme-challenge/[0-9a-zA-Z_-]+$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/\.well-known/pki-validation/[A-F0-9]{32}\.txt(?:\ Comodo\ DCV)?$
RewriteRule (listing|whats-on|event)/?$ $1.php [L]
redirect 301 /listing.php https://www.example.com/whats-on
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 80
RewriteRule ^/?whats-on https://www.example.com%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 80
RewriteRule ^/?event/([0-9]+)$ https://www.example.com%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/[0-9]+\..+\.cpaneldcv$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/\.well-known/acme-challenge/[0-9a-zA-Z_-]+$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/\.well-known/pki-validation/[A-F0-9]{32}\.txt(?:\ Comodo\ DCV)?$
RewriteRule ^/?event/([0-9]+)$ event.php?ID=$1 [L]
rewritecond %{http_host} ^example.com [nc]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/[0-9]+\..+\.cpaneldcv$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/\.well-known/acme-challenge/[0-9a-zA-Z_-]+$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/\.well-known/pki-validation/[A-F0-9]{32}\.txt(?:\ Comodo\ DCV)?$
rewriterule ^(.*)$ http://www.example.com/$1 [r=301,nc]
Also got me thinking.
Moving forward I’ll be adding whats-on/nye etc. though not an issue right now, just keep this in mind it will end up working like the event snippet.
Also wondering
Couldn’t we have for example just one single RewriteCond, with multiple RewriteRule below:
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 80
RewriteRule ^/?whats-on https://www.example.com%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
RewriteRule ^/?event/([0-9]+)$ event.php?ID=$1 [L]
Or do we need RewriteCond for every RewriteRule?

You need to put the http to https redirects before any other rules. They are already matched now before the rules have a chance to fire.
Regarding combining them, you can’t. You need to repeat the RewriteCond with every RewriteRule.

It’s working
Good catch, I see what you mean now.
In conclusion — Always put the redirects before the other rules
You need to repeat the RewriteCond with every RewriteRule.
Shame. Though not big issue.
Cheers,
One final question @rpkamp
Once I’ve moved all http pages to https, could I remove the individual http to https redirects and simply add something like:
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
Or would I still need the separate rules?

Once everything is over just the one rule is fine
