I've been trying to get an answer to this question on other forums (the folks at SuperUser thought this was the place I needed to post) and via my connections, but I haven't gotten very far. Hopefully you guys can help me find an answer.

I've got a dozen old subdomains that have been indexed by Google. These have been indexed as both HTTP AND HTTPS.

I've managed to redirect all the subdomains properly, provided they are not HTTPS, but can't get any of the HTTPS subdomains to property redirect.

Here's the code I'm using:

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^subdomain1.mysite.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.mysite.com/$1 [R=301,L]

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^subdomain2.mysite.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.mysite.com/$1 [R=301,L]

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^subdomain3.mysite.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.mysite.com/$1 [R=301,L]

This works great until someone goes to:

https://subdomain2.mysite.com$ 
which is not redirected back to http://www.mysite.com$

How can I get this to work? Additionally, I'm guessing there is an easier way to make it happen than setting up a dozen pairs of RewriteCond/RewriteRule? Is there any way to do this in just a few lines, including one where I list all the subdomains?

I'd actually also like to redirect everything on https://www.mysite.com$ to http://www.mysite.com$ except for 3 folders.

These are mysite.com/secure, mysite.com/store, mysite.com/user. Is there any good way to add this to the .htaccess file?

  • I'm gust guessing here, but I think you need to match the HTTPS using the following condition. Adapted from askapache.com/htaccess/ssl-example-usage-in-htaccess.html RewriteCond %{HTTPS} =on

  • @skibulk Adding that above any of the sets of rewrite conditions that I've already got doesn't do anything for me. Any ideas? Could there be some kind of conflict with another config file? Commented Oct 18, 2012 at 2:48
  • First of all, should this question belong to stackoverflow? Anyhow stackoverflow.com/questions/1108706/… might help you.

About not repeating for each subdomain - shouldn't this work?

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^.+\.mysite.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.mysite.com/$1 [R=301,L]
