I have 2 LAMP servers with the same version of Apache, both running Wordpress.
SSL is working on both servers (although the test server uses a cert for a different domain).
On both I have the following .htaccess file (/var/www/html/.htaccess):
# BEGIN WordPress
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R,L]
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
# END WordPress
The test server redirects to HTTPS correctly, but the production server does not attempt to redirect at all. I can manually browse the production site via HTTPS.
The permissions on the .htaccess file is 755 and owned by apache:apache on both server.
In order to make sure that the redirect on the test site was because of the .htaccess file, I changed it by removing the following:
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R,L]
The redirect on on the test site stopped until I added it back.
Is there something that may have been done on the test site that needs to be done on production?
Answer
I found the issue so I guess I jumped the gun on posting this question, but I'll leave it here - maybe it will save somebody some time.
In the /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
file, I had AllowOverride
set to None
still on the production site for the document root directory.
Here is what it looks like now (with the redirect working):
#
# Possible values for the Options directive are "None", "All",
# or any combination of:
# Indexes Includes FollowSymLinks SymLinksifOwnerMatch ExecCGI MultiViews
#
# Note that "MultiViews" must be named *explicitly* --- "Options All"
# doesn't give it to you.
#
# The Options directive is both complicated and important. Please see
# http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/core.html#options
# for more information.
#
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
#
# AllowOverride controls what directives may be placed in .htaccess files.
# It can be "All", "None", or any combination of the keywords:
# Options FileInfo AuthConfig Limit
#
AllowOverride All
#
# Controls who can get stuff from this server.
#
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
