Trying to redirect directory to https but getting double URL segment on return

Question

I'm trying to redirect one directory on my site to https. The directory is not really a directory at all because the site's dynamic. I'm using ExpressionEngine as the CMS.

I already have a few lines in my .htaccess file to remove the index.php ExpressionEngine adds to all of its urls.

Here's what I have:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
        RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 80
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} store 
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://mysite.com/store/$1 [R,L]

        # Removes index.php
        RewriteCond $1 !\.(gif|jpe?g|png)$ [NC]
        RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
        RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
        RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?/$1 [L]

</IfModule>

When I visit, http://mysite.com/store/ , it returns https://mysite.com/store/store/ .

I think it might have to do with the following:

    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?/$1 [L]

The above line has a question mark after the index.php because I was getting a "No input file" error, and that was the recommended fix.

Any thoughts?

Answer 1

This line here:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} store 

Should have a ! in front of "store":

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !store 

because you don't want it to redirect if the URI is already /store .

Answer 2

Edited the line:

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://mysite.com/store/$1 [R,L]

to read:

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://mysite.com/$1 [R,L]

Now it works. Here's the full code:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
        RewriteEngine On

        RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 80
        RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} store 
        RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://mysite.com/$1 [R,L]

        # Removes index.php
        RewriteCond $1 !\.(gif|jpe?g|png)$ [NC]
        RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
        RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
        RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?/$1 [L]

</IfModule>
