Redirect doesn't work with SSL - ghost13 - 04-11-2017

We have a basic website built with CodeIgniter. There are 4 pages altogether. We recently moved to SSL certificate and the website doesn't redirect properly
in .htaccess we have the standard directives to access pages without /index.php/

Code:
RewriteEngine on

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

RewriteRule .* index.php/$0 [PT,L]

Since we moved to https all links stopped working eg. www.example.com/home doesn't work anymore. But if you access the page with www.example.com/index.php/home it works!!!

Is there anything else I need to write in the htaccess file? Or any other way to fix the redirects?

The virtualhost config is wrong. the config of you https is missing an AllowOverride.

RE: Redirect doesn't work with SSL - dave friend - 04-11-2017

Did you edit config.php and put the "https: in base_url?

RE: Redirect doesn't work with SSL - ghost13 - 04-13-2017

I change https in base_url config.php but still no change.
I don't know where to put this AllowOverride and what is the correct syntax
Currently in our ssl.config file I have

#<VirtualHost *:80>
#DocumentRoot /path/to/site/
#ServerName www.example.com
#Redirect permanent / https://www.example.com/
#</VirtualHost>

#<VirtualHost *:443>
#DocumentRoot /path/to/site/
#ServerName www.example.com
#SSLEngine on
#SSLCertificateFile /root/www_example_com.crt
#SSLCertificateKeyFile /root/www_example_com.key
#SSLCertificateChainFile /root/certificate.crt
#</VirtualHost>

Lines are commented because otherwise this website redirects to out other website.

RE: Redirect doesn't work with SSL - dave friend - 04-13-2017

I think your RewriteRule is malformed.

Change

Code:
RewriteRule .* index.php/$0 [PT,L]

Code:
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L]

I don't think the PT flag was of any benefit and I removed it.

There is a very handy htaccess tester at http://htaccess.mwl.be/

Given a test URL of http://example.com/controller that site outputs http://example.com/index.php/controllerindex.php/

With my rule the output is http://example.com/index.php/controller

You can add it to vhosts like this:

Code:
# CI 3.1.4 Dev CSD Testing

<VirtualHost *:80>

    DocumentRoot "\xampp\htdocs\citest\public_html"

    ServerName citest.dev

    <Directory "\xampp\htdocs\citest\public_html">

        Order allow,deny

        Allow from all

        AllowOverride All

        Require all granted

    </Directory>

</VirtualHost>

You will want to change some of these for a live web server, this is for a localhost.

Or in your .htaccess like this:

Code:
AllowOverride All

hope this helps you out.

Yes thank you InsiteFX, that did the trick. I just needed to add it to the <VirtualHost *:80>
