htaccess code killing domain searches

[Daskew78]

Hi,

 

Since updating to 7.5.0 I found domain searches were not completing and just hanging. After a lot of problem solving it came down to some .htaccess code redirecting index.php to root. It's common code for websites and always worked but suddenly WHMCS 7.5.0 doesn't like it:

###
# redirect to www
###
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
</IfModule>

 

Has anyone else experienced this or can you test if your domain search works with this code on your websites?

 

Also, I noted it's much slower on PHP5.6 since the update, I am hoping 7.1 will speed this up considerably but waiting for another app to be compatible first. Can anyone else confirm they are finding 7.5.0 slow on PHP5.6?

 

Cheers guys.

I pasted the wrong code, that was for redirecting non-https > https. The code I'm having issues with is:

###
# Redirect index.php to root
###
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^.*/index\.php
RewriteRule ^(.*)index.php$ /$1 [R=301,L]
</IfModule>

Thanks

Hi @Daskew78,

This code isn't necessary in WHMCS. Instead make sure your Setup > General Settings > WHMCS System URL begins with https:// and all pages will be served over https.

Hi @WHMCS John,

Please see my own rely to my reply, I pasted the wrong code.

Thanks.
