https Question

I am running vbseo and just made the site https. I tried a redirect in htaccess for the http to https but it seems to hang the site up. Is the htaccess only for rewrite rules with vbseo. How would I go about redirecting http://www.mysite.com to https://www.mysite.com ???

Thanks,

Hello,

you can try the following in .htaccess right after "RewriteEngine on" line:

Code:

RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule (.*) https://www.mysite.com/$1 [L,R=301]

Having the rewrite rules in .htacess has slowed my site down when using the https. I would like to move it to the httpd.ini file. I saw someone say it looks different when you put the rewrite rules in a file. Where in the httpd.ini file would you put the rewrite rules and how would they look?

Thanks,

You can simply add vBSEO's rewrite rules without changes in corresponding <Directory> section of httpd.conf, restart apache and then remove .htaccess:

Code:

<Directory /path/to/your/forum>
[paste contens of .htaccess here]
</Directory>
