Redirect from SSL HTTPS to HTTP (NO SSL)

(1 answer)

Closed 8 years ago.

The SSL certificate on my site has expired, which has caused https requests to the site to fail.

While I am sorting out a new SSL certificate, what can I do to redirect https requests into the http requests?

The https folder of my site is sym-linked to the http folder.

Solution :

If you have Apache and mod_rewrite, then put this script in a .htaccess file that needs to be in your root folder

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %HTTPS on
RewriteRule (.*) http://%HTTP_HOST%REQUEST_URI

You would have added http to http redirect in your .htaccess file or your .conf file.

Open the file where the redirect has been added and comment the redirect/rewrite code.

Your website will start to resolve using http:// protocol.
