BluegrassGardener Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 Just recently noticed I have an index page indexed in Big G that is https://. How can I get that permanently redirected through .htaccess? Great Success ! Apache is working on your cPanel® and WHM™ Server. If you can see this page, then the people who manage this server have installed cPanel ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BluegrassGardener Posted November 19, 2011 Author Share Posted November 19, 2011 I also have a page that is showing the same as the real page except instead of = it is showing %3D and I can't get that to redirect permanently for some reason. Oh, and for some reason I have webmail.website.com showing up in google's index. Is there a way to hide that somehow? Can't understand why that would even be indexed.

However, SSL negotiation occurs before any redirection takes place, therefore, if you have no SSL certificate installed then the redirect will never complete.

BluegrassGardener Posted November 20, 2011 Author Share Posted November 20, 2011 I tried to redirect last night via .htaccess and no luck. Keep getting errors. I don't guess I get what you're saying. I get the same sort of error when I use https://totalchoicehosting.com yet I go to, say Twitter https://www.twitter.com , and theirs somehow redirects just fine to http:// versus https://twitter.com/ which resolves perfectly, no issues. Has to be some way around this issue to get it to redirect to http://, correct? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCH-Alex Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 Please note that https and http are two different protocols working on two different ports. Hence the SSL negotiation is the first one take before the htaccess redirects and https://****** calls cannot be redirected on a shared server without a dedicated SSL installed. And yes TCH and Twitter is having a dedicated SSL installed and that is why its working over there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beach200 Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Using https, it seems it is very easy to find out the server details etc etc from the default screen which displays. But this is the exact information which is nobody's business and is hidden by using error pages in a standard http url. So the question is this: if I can't redirect away from that https page on a shared server, is it possible to have the page changed (presumably by you) so the server information and the other technical details are no longer shown? In other words, a more professional looking page should be returned. Ideally - in my opinion - a blank page. Thanks for your input. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCH-Bruce Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 The way around it is to get your own dedicated SSL certificate instead of using the shared SSL certificate on the server. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
