Nginx<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Below method can be used when you wish all configured sites to definitely only use https:<\/code><\/p>\n\n\n\n

server {
              listen 80
              default_server;
              server_name _;
              return 301 https:\/\/$host$request_uri;
} <\/code><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\nWe can redirect only specific sites also. This is better if you have multiple apps\/sites and not all of them should be forced to use SSL certificates.\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

server {
             listen 80;
             server_name yourdomain.com;
             return 301 https:\/\/$server_name$request_uri;
}<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Apache<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Redirect HTTP to HTTPS on Apache Using .htaccess File<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

\n\nFor this method, make sure mod_rewrite<\/strong> is enabled\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once it is enabled, you can just add below lines to .htaccess in your domain’s document root directory:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
RewriteRule ^\/?(.*) https:\/\/%{SERVER_NAME}\/$1 [R,L]<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Redirect HTTP to HTTPS on Apache Virtual Host<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

\n\nTo redirect HTTP to HTTPS for all the pages of your website, first open the appropriate virtual host file. Then modify it by adding the configuration below.\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NameVirtualHost *:80
<VirtualHost *:80>
     ServerName www.yourdomain.com
     Redirect \/ https:\/\/www.yourdomain.com<\/strong>
<\/VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost _default_:443>
    ServerName www.yourdomain.com
    DocumentRoot \/usr\/local\/apache2\/htdocs
    SSLEngine On
<\/VirtualHost><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\nSave and close the file, then restart the HTTP sever\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

# systemctl restart httpd [RHEL\/CentOS OS]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
