I am trying to force a subfolder (/bbb/) of my root domain to show always as https. Also my .htaccess file take care of the extensions of the pages.
I have put the .htaccess file inside my /bbb/ folder but I get "Too many redirects" when I try to force to connect to https, without it everything works fine.
Whats wrong in my code?
Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
Options +Indexes
AcceptPathInfo Off
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
ErrorDocument 404 https://example.co.uk/404page/404.html
#Force from http to https
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 80
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^bbb.example.co.uk/$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://bbb.example.co.uk/$1 [R=301]
#take off index.html
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\. [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^(.*/)index\.html$ [NC]
RewriteRule . http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}%1 [R=301,NE,L]
## hide .php extension
# To externally redirect /dir/foo.php to /dir/foo
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,}\s([^.]+)\.php [NC]
RewriteRule ^ %1 [R,L,NC]
## To internally redirect /dir/foo to /dir/foo.php
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}.php -f
RewriteRule ^ %{REQUEST_URI}.php [L]
## hide .html extension

RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,}\s([^.]+)\.html [NC]
RewriteRule ^ %1 [R,L,NC]
## To internally redirect /dir/foo to /dir/foo.html
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}.html -f
RewriteRule ^ %{REQUEST_URI}.html [L]
Problem is in this rule:
#Force from http to https
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 80
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^bbb.example.co.uk/$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://bbb.example.co.uk/$1 [R=301]
Change this rule to:
#Force from http to https
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} =bbb.example.co.uk
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L,NE]
You have condition reversed due to use of ! at start and have an extra slash at end which will never be matched hence making your condition always return true.
Make sure to clear your browser cache before testing this.
