htaccess file redirect

[civcin]

Hey Guys,

I hope you guys can help because I have no idea how to fix this.

I have my site at www.okoz.eu

I decided to create a clone and put it in a folder called nl under the root directory of my site that is called okoz.

now there are  2 sites: www.okoz.eu and www.okoz.eu/nl

in the root directory, there is an htaccess file that directs all incoming traffic from HTTP to HTTPS.

now every time Igo to www.okoz.eu/nl I am getting to www.okoz.eu.

I suspect it is the redirect in the htaccess file causing this issue.

Any idea how can I fix this?

Cheers,

Vic

I would remove this code

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} okoz\.eu [NC]
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 80
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.okoz.eu/$1 [R,L]

Can you send the redirect code you have in the htaccess file in the NL folder - more than likely if you cloned the entire site that is the issue that you need to add the nl to the redirect to the htaccess file in the nl folder

Hi,

Many thanks for your reply, much appreciated.

Indeed you are correct, I have made a change to the file with the help of GoDaddy support.

It is still not working yet, but according to the support, it will take time just like a DNS change.

Here are the changes do you think they are correct?

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} okoz\.eu [NC]
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 80
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.okoz.eu/$1 [R,L]

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /nl/
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /nl/index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

Cheers.

1) htaccess changes should be pretty much instant as it's a local file not a DNS update

2) right now I can't get to the main site even

3) If what you pasted in your response is what you have in the htaccess file for https://www.okoz.eu/nl

then you need to add the nl into the rule and condition 

Personally I wouldn't do this via htaccess, I would use the plugin "Really Simple SSL" which will do re-writes on all the content and help to get rid of mixed content issues

Hi,

Since he did the change I am unable to reach my sites anymore not even the backend.

I am calling the support again to see what they can do.

The only thing I can access is htaccess file via FTP now.

I also found it a bit strange about propagation time for htaccess but I am not knowledgable enough in that subject as much as he is I suppose.

here is my whole htaccess file:

no idea where it is going wrong.

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} okoz\.eu [NC]

RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 80

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.okoz.eu/$1 [R,L]

# BEGIN WordPress

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>

RewriteEngine On

RewriteBase /

RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

RewriteRule . /index.php [L]

It seems that the support agent had changed the DNS.

It's back online but of course back to square one.

I will remove the lines and as you suggested and install really simple ssl.

I'll keep you posted.

Cheers.
