Question

I have created a new version of a website at in a secure https folder, I want any requests to go to that folder, so for example https://photofileltd.co.uk/index.php?page=services would then display https://secure.photofileltd.co.uk/new_site/index.php?page=services

I’ve tried this in .htaccess, it re-directs fine but does not change/mask the URL, updated thanks to Jan:

Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
# Turn mod_rewrite on
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://secure.photofileltd.co.uk/new_site/$1 [L]

Any help or advice would be much appreciated – I’m not very familiar at all with htaccess/mod_rewrite, thank you!

Answer 1

you are loosing the query on your way:

Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
# Turn mod_rewrite on
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://secure.photofileltd.co.uk/new_site/$1 [L]
