Redirect https://www to https://

Question

I use this

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.(.+)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^ https://kanzan.se%{REQUEST_URI} [L,NE,R=301]

to redirect ALL www to non-www, but it doesn't work when I type https://www.kanzan.se. The www is still there!

Did you enable rewrite trace log so you can see what happens and what rules are hit? — Florin Asăvoaie, Jul 17 '18 at 10:59
When enable logging I get "Invalid command 'RewriteLog', perhaps misspelled or defined by a module not included in the server config" — user2908112, Jul 17 '18 at 11:10
RewriteLog no longer exists in newer versions. Use "LogLevel warn rewrite:trace3". — Florin Asăvoaie, Jul 17 '18 at 11:36

To redirect https://www to non www use the following:

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.your_domain.com$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://your_domain.com/$1 [R=301]

To redirect www to non-www (while using SSL)

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.your_domain.com$
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} ^443
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://your_domain.com/$1 [R=301]

after this don't forget to enable the rewrite mode.

sudo a2enmod rewrite;
sudo service apache2 restart;

I'm confused.. What do you mean by "while usng ssl"? – user2908112 Jul 17 '18 at 12:04
If you have installed SSL certificate then you have to set 443 port – Sukhjinder Singh Jul 17 '18 at 12:05

Ok I got it working. I used this

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.kanzan.
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} ^443
RewriteRule ^ https://kanzan.se%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]

in my virtual host for 443. Before I did put all in the global config. I don't understand why it made any difference..
