.htaccess.. little help please

[eluser]citryer[/eluser]
Dear All,

what rules should I put-in, into my .htaccess file to redirect any one visiting http://mywebsite.com/index.php/admin/login to its SSL equivalent i.e https://mywebsite.com/index.php/admin/login

Thanks and looking forward to your replies.

I would try this at the top of your admin/login view file

Code:

if ($_SERVER['HTTPS']!= 'on') {
// Redirect user to secure page
header("Location: https://mywebsite.com/index.php/admin/login");
exit;
}

If this is not best way to do it, then please take other suggestions. Use at your own risk

I would prefer if this can be handled at .htaccess end.
but thanks anyways..

Code:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule "^/index.php/admin/login" "https://%{HTTP_HOST}/admin/login" [R=301,L]

my htaccess skills is even worse.. same warning

didn't work... no redirection took place.
Just one URL to be taken care of while all the other areas of the website will be NON-SSL based.
