Enable HSTS and make sure everything is HTTPS

[Hari]

@phenomlab No error, it just stuck without www. It should supposed to get redirected to www.domain/ask

This only happening with flarum all other wordpress subdirectories are getting redirected without any issue.

[phenomlab]

@hari Does it work if you set a redirect using rules at CF ?

[Hari]

@phenomlab Yes, if I set a page rule it used to work.

Now shall I set a page rule for www at cloud flare (I don’t want to do it)

I am guessing a www. Redirection at ask folder ht acess would resolve the issue.

It should, yes. Did you create one previously, and it was ignored ?

[Hari]

@phenomlab No, erlier I used to manage it using CF page rule (all in one rule https and www.) . Now as we switch to HSTS and there is a setting at CF as make sure every page is https it is taking care of http to https redirection so turned of page rules.

Could you suggest me the ht access rule for ask folder only

I have posted my ask folder ht access in my first post of this discussion

[phenomlab]

@hari So to confirm, you want all requests to this URL to be converted to https://www.domain.com ?

[Hari]

@phenomlab all WordPress installations for domain or subdirectory is properly getting redirected to www. so i don’t want to add any rules in main ht access

i want all requests to “ask” folder to be converted to www. https://www.domain.com/ask

only flarum is not doing www. redirection

if writing a global rule is the right approach i will try that

[phenomlab]

@hari You should leverage the .htaccess inside the Flarum root directory and not touch anything else. If you set the forward here, it should work as planned.

Let me know if you need any help.

[Hari]

@phenomlab yes i want you to suggest/modify this for me

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

if i use this line in the subdirectory (flarum) it will redirect to to http?

could you suggest me a line which only modify non www to www and doent touch the https or http thing since DNS is taking care of it.

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.yourdomain.com/ask/$1 [L,R=301]

Before we do that, shouldn’t

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.yourdomain.com/ask/$1 [L,R=301]

Actually be

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.yourdomain.com/ask/$1 [L,R=301]

?

[Hari]

@phenomlab nope it’s not working - added these lines in ask direcotry htacess

  RewriteEngine on
   RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^domain.com/ask [NC]
   RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.domain.com/ask/$1 [L,R=301]

tried to redirect at main folder too but its not redirecting to www for ask

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

let me try CF page rule

[Hari]

@hari CF page rule is working, i think my .htacces don’t work
