Magento Rewrite sends HTTP product URL to homepage SLL

[jamesbmagento]

Hello,

I have recently installed SLL on one of my clients magento websites. Everything is working fine apart from one thing, product page urls are not redirecting from http:// to https://, they are redirecting to the homepage instead.

Any idea what is causing this?

Thank you.

Hi.

Yes that is because Magento does this by default. You can get around this by adding the following to your public/.htaccess

RewriteCond %{HTTP:X-Forwarded-Proto} !=https
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} !=POST
RewriteRule ^https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]

Make sure you put it after the "RewriteEngine On" bit. It will always 301.

Regards,

Andy
