SSL "www" & "no www"

[keweli]

I set up SSL on my site, everything works fine except the cert is for http://mysite.com and not http://www.mysite.com.

When I go to http://www.mysite.com, files that used {base_dir_ssl} won't load and there is a cert problem.

What can I do?

Is the only way to make www redirect to NO www?

thanks

You should either purchase a new SSL that will also cover the domain name including the www certificate and install the new SSL for your store or create a redirect to make sure all visitors are accessing the website without the www prefix.

I have redirected all http://www to http:// by editing the htaccess with this:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} .
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^example\.com
RewriteRule (.*) http://example.com/$1 [R=301,L]

It works good, but if someone copies a link of the checkout page with www, there is a problem.

Anyone know how to add anything so that my https://www.site.com will also be redirected to https://site.com?

hi,

Anyone know how to add anything so that my https://www.site.com will also be redirected to https://site.com?

try this

RewriteCond %{HTTPS_HOST} !^example\.com
RewriteRule (.*) https://example.com/$1 [R=301,L]

It is pretty much the same just use HTTPS_HOST instead of HTTP_HOST in the example. Leave both redirects working.

If I have this:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} .
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^example\.com
RewriteRule (.*) http://example.com/$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{HTTPS_HOST} !^example\.com
RewriteRule (.*) https://example.com/$1 [R=301,L]

It won't no which to redirect to. Only 1-2 of my pages use https. Others I still need http.

If all the pages are under that domain then you shouldn't have to purchase a new SSL just for it to be covered. You need to fix the ini.php file so that all pages have the same prefix either "www.yourdomain.com" or "yourdomain.com" can't use both

Also try and call the hosting for ssl they might change it the way you want, if you act dumb and and say you didn' know.
