Hi All

I'm trying to force https for a certain directory:

/special_dir

I also want to factor in calls for both

www.domain.com/special_dir
domain.com/special_dir

Thus, anything to:

http://www.domain.com/special_dir
http://domain.com/special_dir

would be redirected to:

https://www.domain.com/special_dir

I have tried the following in htaccess, but I get a browser error stating that I don't have permission to access that area


Can anyone see how to correct this? Many thanks

------------------------------------------

Just tried this and it works:

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} !=443

RewriteRule ^ https://yourdomain.tld%{REQUEST_URI} [NS,R,L]

Not sure if the above serves your purpose. Could adjust to your condition.

Thanks

Yeeeeeehaaaaaah!!!!

It works great!!!

I've been trying to find something like this for ages

Thanks so much

Glad that it worked.
5 Minutes was worth the time that i spent on Google :)
First i thought of how cPanel redirects but that was too complicated for me to understand (talking of cpanel as you seem to be on cPanel server).

Thanks

Add this if you have not already added to .htaccess

Options +FollowSymLinks

I must have missed while doing and cut and paste

Thanks

Yep, cPanel. I have looked at htaccess stuff tons but couldn't see how to work this. Thanks
