Forcing SSL problem

[wedz0ff]

So, i have tried every code that I found, I tried cPanel redirects, the only code that works for me is:

RewriteCond %{HTTP:CF-Visitor} '"scheme":"http"'
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://website.tld/$1 [L]

But i do not want to use it, because I'm using arvixe and I have other domains in my webhosting, so if i try to enter on website2.tld, it redirects to website.tld/FOLDER

Can you guys help me?

You need to do the redirection using .htaccess in the given website folder and/or use cloudflare custom page rules to redirect only traffic that comes from your cloudflare enabled domain.

Yes, but how? can you help me?

I just told you: .htaccess

Yeah, i tried it, but it still returns that ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS

Ok, I fixed it with PageRules, anyway i still have this problem with addon domains, apparently, it's not related to force SSL and Rewrite rules of Chevereto, can you take a look at it Rodolfo?

ex.: if I type: domain2.tld and it's an addon domain, it redirects me to domain2.tld/FOLDER_OF_MAIN_DOMAIN

Chevereto doesn't handle the redirect of the protocol so at script layer there is nothing to do here. Honestly I believe that all the CF + HTTPS issues are due because poor .htaccess editing or misunderstanding of the rewrite module. That said, I insist that you should refer this issue to your hosting company.

The only known issue with SSL + CloudFlare is that it doesn't work well when you enable cloudflare from cPanel, and that isn't even a Chevereto issue is how CloudFlare mixed things and it is now that it has issues with https.

In my case I use cloudflare in chevereto.com (dns traditional implementation) just for DNS resolution but for testing I enabled the CF_HTTPS and forced the https protocol using pagerules/htaccess and I didn't have any issue.

Ok, thank you, at this moment i'm using the default chevereto .htaccess, anyway i'm gonna try to contact Arvixe.

If it helps, this is my .htaccess which handles the protocol thing, this works when you use CloudFlare + Own SSL cert (in your server):

RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on [OR]
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 80
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]

When you use CloudFlare + CloudFlare SSL I believe that pagerules is what you need.

.htaccess rewrites for domains, protocols and things like that should be right after the first RewriteEngine On line.

Thank you, you can close this topic if you want. I talked with Arvixe Support and they helped me.
