Migration of website from http to https

Question

I just moved my website from http to https. The images, javascripts and css files have status 403 (Forbidden). I am using php codeigniter. What is it that I am missing?

Answer 1

add this to your .htaccess to move the entire website to https

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^example\.com [NC]
    RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 80 
    RewriteRule ^(.*) https://example.com/$1 [L,R=301]
</IfModule>

Where example.com is your own domain. you can use your local ip or localhost

for localhost

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>    
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^localhost [NC]
    RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 80 
    RewriteRule ^(.*) https://localhost/$1 [L,R=301]
</IfModule>

The above solutions work at the root of your domain. if you need folder wise

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On 
    RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^example\.com [NC]
    RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 80 
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} folder 
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://example.com/folder/$1 [R,L]
</IfModule>
