In this article, we’ll go over how you can fix the www does not redirect properly after move to https error on your web browser. Problem :


I recently moved my site (hosted on OpenShift) from HTTP to HTTPS. The domain name is registered at GoDaddy, but I use the DNS of Cloudflare. I had implemented a Cloudflare page rule to forward www to non-www. All was working fine.



I have now implemented HTTPS and the forwarding from www to non-www does not work anymore. It forwards to https://www.example.com/app instead of https://example.com and I get a 404 Not Found.



The current page rule on cloudflare is:

What am I doing wrong? Thanks!


Solution :

# curl -IL http://www.ligatures.net/a.html -v

* Connection #0 to host www.ligatures.net left intact
* Issue another request to this URL: 'https://www.ligatures.net/a.html'
* Found bundle for host www.ligatures.net: 0x14103c0

You would need to following: https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/OpenShift_Online/2.0/html-single/User_Guide/index.html#sect-Custom_Domains_and_SSL_Certificates to get your ssl and domain setup correctly.



It could just be a misconfigured .htaccess file. If you don't have an .htaccess file that could be it, too. Check it to see if there is any forwarding rules in there, and change it from http to https if there are.


We hope that this article has helped you resolve the redirects, https, no-www error in your web browsers. Enjoy browsing the internet uninterrupted!
