htaccess: Redirect All domains (https and http) to new domain

Question

My current domain is a free https.

I add new domains as parked domains Alias (in DirectAdmin).

So for the new domain to use https, I need to disable https for the old domains.

Now I want to transfer all the old domains to the new domain with https.

I think the solution is that https should be disabled for all domains except the new domain, then the address will be transferred to the new domain

You can force https like so:

RewriteEngine On 
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off 
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]

That should go to your .htaccess to your root folder

I do not want a forced https. I want https to be disabled for all domains except the new domain. Also, all domains will be transferred to the new domain – Apr 20 '19 at 09:09

You can use this :

RewriteEngine on

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^(www\.)?newdomain\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule (.*) https://www.newdomain.com/$1 [L,R=301]

This will redirect all parked domains (pointing to your document root) to your new domain url .

The RewriteCondition above makes sure you don't redirect newdoman to itself otherwise the rule would cause a redirect loop error.

This code does not pass `https://oldDomain.com` to the new domain. Because the error appears in the browser: **Your connection is not private.** I think the solution is that https should be disabled for all domains except the new domain, then the address will be transferred to the new domain. – Apr 20 '19 at 13:01
@Mohammad you need to install valid ssl certs for your domains in order to redirect them. – Amit Verma Apr 20 '19 at 13:45
There are codes for transmitting https to http. I just want the code to change so that it does not include the new domain – Apr 20 '19 at 13:52
@mohammad if ssl cert doesn't exist for the domain your are trying to redirect from `https` to `http` then there is nothing htaccess redirect can do in that case you would need to buy a valid cert and install on the domain. You are getting `connection not private` error from the ssl module as your domain doesn't have ssl installed . – Amit Verma Apr 20 '19 at 14:39
