HTTP to HTTPS redirect fails

I entered my SSL information via the SSL section in ISPConfig and used the following to enforce a HTTPS redirect:

Code:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} !^443$
RewriteRule ^.*$ https://%{SERVER_NAME}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R] 

I also tried using a .htaccess file with the content here.

Content of associated vhost:

Code:

<Directory /var/www/arcube.com.ng>
        AllowOverride None
                Require all denied
        </Directory>

<VirtualHost 45.56.99.63:80>

        ServerAlias www.arcube.com.ng
        ServerAdmin [email protected]

I've also noticed that despite the HTTPS working, the vhost still contains :80 instead of :443. What am I doing wrong?

 

With Apache you can use

Code:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI}

And don´t forget to enable SSL for this site (and create the certificate).

 

After placing that into the Apache Directives filed in ISPConfig, request to http/https do not work (the page doesn't load). The browser (Google Chrome) returns an error: "This webpage has a redirect loop".
Removing the code from the Apache Directives field returns the site back to working other with both HTTP and HTTPS, with no redirect.
This was the same problem I had using the redirect code above. Certificates have been installed from the SSL tab within ISPConfig and work when I manually put HTTPS into the browser.

Update:
After deleting the content in the Apache directives field, I switched to the redirect tab and inserted the full URL including https:// as the redirect path and tried both R,L and permanent. Nothing happened with permanent, R,L however caused the same issue with the redirect loop error.

 

It turned out that CloudFlare was responsible for the infinite redirect loop. I resulted to using Page Rules from CloudFlare to force a HTTPS redirect. Thanks for the help
