Help me with this I want to type my url in address bar without https (example.com) like othere website we usually surf on internet and want it to automatically detect that it is a secure website.

Answer 1

I'm assuming you've already acquired an SSL certificate for your site.

What you want to do is redirect HTTP to HTTPS via your .htaccess file. A quick search will tell you how to do that, it is something like:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 80
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.yourdomain.example/$1 [R,L]

Another easy solution is to redirect via your Apache configuration. Navigate to /etc/apache2/sites-available/ and edit your site's config file. Add the following lines:

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName yourdomain.com
    Redirect permanent / https://yourdomain.example/
</VirtualHost>
