[parfumylacno]

Hi all,

Im preparing to switch my website to SSL certificate and i m looking for answer :

How set properly .htaccess file to make 301 redirect from http to https = to all urls. I dont want to lose any rank for http url, i make many work on SEO so i have to do it properly - but dont know how.

i found more tips to set htaccess but from non joomla/virtuemart forums, so they shold not work fine with joomla..?

to example
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.example\.com$

or here https://newevolutiondesigns.com/convert-http-to-https but it is different..

Please can anybody help me?

thank you very much, i have joomla 2.5.25 and virtuemart 2.6.10
RewriteRule (.*) https://www.example.com/$1 [R=301,QSA,L]

You could enable Force SLL in Joomla configuration. But this will not redirect static resources (e.g. images) and external scripts. For that you can use this:

RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
RewriteRule ^ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
