I am trying to work out my htaccess to redirect links from external sites to https and www version

Problem:

People have been posting links to our site leaving off the https and www.
eg. http://punkbandpromotions.com/k-usr-radio
( link should be https://www.punkbandpromotions.com/k-usr-radio )

when people click that link it goes to a not found page
https://www.punkbandpromotions.com/modules/jrCore/router.php?_uri=k-usr-radio

why is it injecting the /modules/jrCore/router.php?_uri=
If that was gone the link would work

this is my htaccess edit

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

The routing system is what makes jamroom work.

"Understanding the Routing system"
Understanding the routing system | Jamroom 5

So your going to want to keep that routing link in there.

Not so good at these, I usually just keep playing around til i find something that works, but as a guess.... try:

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.%{HTTP_HOST}/modules/jrCore/router.php?_uri=$1 [R=301,L]

Thanks @michael .
Nah it doesn't work
i get the url
https://www.punkbandpromotions.com/modules/jrCore/router.php?_uri=modules/jrCore/router.php\
I need to remove the modules/jrCore/router.php?_uri=
That is just adding after it

Wouldn't it need a specific rule?
Like
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^punkbandpromotions.com$
RewriteRule ^modules\/jrCore\/router\.php\/?(.*)$ "https\:\/\/www\.punkbandpromtions\.com\/$1" [R=301,L]
( that doesn't work by the way )

Try this:

RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} ^443$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^punkbandpromotions\.com [NC]
RewriteRule .? https://www.punkbandpromotions.com%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]

Let me know if that works.

Hope this helps!

Unfortunately @brian that didn't work either.
if you go here
punkbandpromotions.com/k-usr-radio
it shows this as the url with a 404
https://www.punkbandpromotions.com/modules/jrCore/router.php?_uri=k-usr-radio

any other thoughts?
the proper link obviously works. We just want to fix it if people for example forget the www
eg
http://punkbandpromotions.com/k-usr-radio
breaks ( No www )
punkbandpromotions.com/k-usr-radio
breaks ( no www or http or https )
www.punkbandpromotions.com/k-usr-radio
works ( no http or https )
I have left your edit it to show you the results

BTW I have it after the core redirect


# All requests through the router
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^(.*)favicon\.ico$ modules/jrCore/img/favicon.ico [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-l
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ modules/jrCore/router.php?_uri=$1 [NC,L]
</IfModule>
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} ^443$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^punkbandpromotions\.com [NC]
RewriteRule .? https://www.punkbandpromotions.com%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]

This is what we use here on jamroom.net to redirect all non-www to www:

# HTTP
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} ^80$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^jamroom\.net [NC]
RewriteRule .? http://www.jamroom.net%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]

# HTTPS
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} ^443$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^jamroom\.net [NC]
RewriteRule .? https://www.jamroom.net%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]

of course change to your domain, but that is working for us.

Hope this helps!

instead of R=301,L try [NC,L] as that's what the original one is

Original .htaccess file:


# All requests through the front controller
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-l
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ modules/jrCore/router.php?_uri=$1 [NC,L]

So here's a few more guesses from me.

# HTTP
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} ^80$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^jamroom\.net [NC]
RewriteRule .? https://www.jamroom.net%{REQUEST_URI} [NC,L]

# HTTPS
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} ^443$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^jamroom\.net [NC]
RewriteRule .? https://www.jamroom.net%{REQUEST_URI} [NC,L]

The 301 tells the visitor the URL has changed permanently, which is what you want.

What about this. Leave the standard jamroom .htaccess redirect code in place, as is. Then add a couple of rules BEFORE it to catch any of the wanted issues:

# catch the non www. version and redirect
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^punkbandpromotions\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.punkbandpromotions.com/$1 [L,R=301]


# All requests through the front controller
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-l
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ modules/jrCore/router.php?_uri=$1 [NC,L]

Oh yeah - that's what you want. Those rules need to be placed above the main RewriteRule section.
