 Hi,

I have the site shrinemont.com. I added SSL.

www directing to non-www
HSTS = Yes
Joomla Force HTTPS = Entire site

All above works great.

I also have shrinemont.org. Here lies the problem.

http://shrinemont.org redirects to https://shrinemont.com
but
http://www.shrinemont.org creates too many redirects error.
Resulting url = https://shrinemont.com/https://shrinemont.com/404

So what I did that is wrong is I put this code in the Custom htaccess rule at bottom of file:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^shrinemont\.org$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.shrinemont\.org$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ "https\:\/\/shrinemont\.com\/$1" [R=301,L]

But I don't know how to do this correctly. I need help fixing this.

Thanks,
Helen

But this has only happened once to me and now it works fine.

This has happened to many other visitors and I cannot get the details on what url was entered.

So now I am puzzled.

I have a report that it occurs on shrinemont.com, too.

Hello,

I suspect the problem is inside the .org site.
How do you perform the redirection?

The redirect code I included in the first post.

Please update your .htaccess file to use only the following rule:
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ "https\:\/\/shrinemont\.com\/" [R=301,L]

In this way you are telling the webserver to redirect everything to the new domain, no matter what. Please note that I removed the $1 param, since you don't need to carry URL params to the new site.
