HTTPS 301 redirecting to http version

Question

We have implemented https on our Magento store a few months back and everything seems fine exceptive noted that the server response for 301 redirects don't seem to be honoring the https://

The server response is similar to this.

---

Location: http://www.example.com

Redirecting to: http://www.example.com

---

This is then leading critters to HTTP versions of the page then a 301 to the https version, creating a loop.

Is this correct or is something wrong causing the server to output http and not https?

Answer 1

Change both admin panel URL in https version.

web/unsecure/base_url

web/secure/base_url

and place below code in htacess

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.example.com$ [NC] RewriteRule (.*) https://www.example.com/$1 [R=301,L]

So all crawl URL will redirect to https URL.

Answer 2

I fixed the issue by setting the cookie setting in the backend of magento and this fixed my issue.
