HTTP/HTTPS, without index.php, using htaccess, plus XHR

[eluser]jpwdesigns[/eluser]
Awesome work guys. Thanks for sharing the easiest method of dealing with ssl i've seen yet.

One issue i'm having is that the base url is not converting to http: when i access from a page which is https:.

EXAMPLE:
Enter site at home page -> link to ssl page -> click link "Home" button to be redirected back to base url but it does not revert to http.

Ideas?

I have followed this exactly... what gives? Why does this not work? How can this be the only post referencing this issue?

My .htaccess file:

Code:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine on
    RewriteBase /

    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1

    RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{SERVER_NAME}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301]
</IfModule>

<IfModule !mod_rewrite.c>
    ErrorDocument 404 /index.php
</IfModule>

It works to the point that everything is being forced to https://intranet.domain.org, but NO SUB LINKS ARE WORKING...

https://intranet.domain.org/test does not work

however

https://intranet.domain.org/index.php/test works

According to this post, the above should be the exact opposite. What am I doing wrong here?

If it matters... the logs say this when accessing https://intranet.domain.org/test

[Fri Jun 15 09:11:58 2012] [error] [client 10.1.0.17] File does not exist: C:/Webserver/htdocs/intranet/test, referer: https://intranet.domain.org/

And this is what my URLs look like, as when I am linking to a different section:

Code:

<a href="&lt;?php echo base_url()?&gt;test"><span>test</span></a>

The above takes me to https://intranet.domain.org/test, however, a
Not Found
The requested URL /test was not found on this server.

For some reason the .htaccess versions from Phil_b and terminate were not working for me but the following does.
I read on other forums that the remove index rule for codeigniter should go at the bottom, that is after the HTTP/HTTPS handling, and then in that case I had to remove the L definition for those two rules.

This was really giving me headaches, so am posting just in case anyone else experience the same issues as me. I am not sure about what was causing the difference though as the versions posted here should have worked in theory. The only difference I see is that I have codeigniter placed in a subfolder on my server.

Code:

RewriteEngine on

Options +FollowSymLinks

RewriteBase /subfolder/

RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} (auth|register|secure|payment)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{SERVER_NAME}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,QSA]

RewriteCond %{HTTPS} on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(static|auth|register|secure|payment)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://%{SERVER_NAME}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,QSA]


RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1

@Manisha and @baazil1,

Make sure that .htaccess is effectively "turned on".
Find your default-ssl file (or equivalent) on your system.

On Ubuntu it's here: /etc/apache2/sites-available/default-ssl and modify as per below.

Code:

<Directory /var/www/>
  Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
  AllowOverride All
  Order allow,deny
  allow from all
</Directory>

The key here is the

Code:

AllowOverride All

.

In your case it is probably set to

Code:

AllowOverride None

.

Does this help?

Hello,

Can you please advise mE where should i include $config['base_url'] = "http".((isset($_SERVER['HTTPS']) && $_SERVER['HTTPS'] == "on") ? "s" : "")."://".$_SERVER['HTTP part before dealing the the .htaccess

Thank you

Hi,

This solution works perfect for me except that the redirect to https brings back the index.php and does not go away. How can I fix that?

Never mind, I've found the answer
