CodeIgniter 3 htaccess www to non-www, old domain to new domain, http to https and skip index.php all-in-one
Reading time: 0,6 min
It was not easy. Having an htaccess for CodeIgniter 3 to do all this all-in-once was really hard to find out. But, finally it works like a charm for me
This is what I came up with.
The following htaccess works in three steps.
In the first codeblock it translates www to non-www and at the same time it redirects non-SSL to SSL (http to https).
In the second step it makes a wildcard redirection from my old blog domain to my new blog domain (tomsnews.net => tomsnews.io). The complete path is being translated.
Last but not least it skips index.php because CodeIgniter renders everything over index.php.
I have tested it for a week so far and it works really well.
Have fun.
