Redirect http to https via .htaccess not working

Question

I've seen a few questions like this on here, but no answer seems to work. I just can't seem to figure this out. Here is my code:

# enable basic rewriting RewriteEngine on # enable symbolic links Options +FollowSymLinks # Primary Domain - Force the use of "https" RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\. RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L] # Primary Domain - Force the use of "www" RewriteCond %{http_host} ^example.org [nc] RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.example.org/$1 [r=301,nc] # Primary Domain - .com to .org RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^example.com$ [NC] RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.example.org/$1 [R=301,L] RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.example.com$ [NC] RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.example.org/$1 [R=301,L] # Primary Domain - .net to .org RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^example.net$ [NC] RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.example.org/$1 [R=301,L] RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.example.net$ [NC] RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.example.org/$1 [R=301,L]

So whenever I go to www.example.org or http://www.example.org it will NOT redirect. This is what is frustrating me. If I go to example.org or any of the other redirects, it works though. Am I setting this up wrong?

Also, where it says "HTTP_HOST", do I leave it as is? Like do I replace it with my http host?

Amie if you want to force www and https both you can check for the absence of www. or check if https is not On then redirect. So either way it will redirect. example.

# Primary Domain - Force the use of "https" and www RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\. [OR] RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !^on$ RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.mydomain.org/$1 [R=301,L]

Replace mydomain.org with your domain.

Then you can have a htaccess file like this. I took the last two rules and combined them so you have a smaller htaccess file.

# enable basic rewriting RewriteEngine on # enable symbolic links Options +FollowSymLinks # Primary Domain - Force the use of "https" and www RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\. [OR] RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !^on$ RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.mydomain.org/$1 [R=301,L] # Primary Domain - .com to .org Or .net to .org RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?mydomain\.(net|com)$ [NC] RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.mydomain.org/$1 [R=301,L]

Also, where it says "HTTP_HOST", do I leave it as is? Like do I replace it with my http host?

%{HTTP_HOST} is a variable that contains the host sent with Http headers from the browser. So if someone requests http://mydomain.org/somepage.php that variable %{HTTP_HOST} will contain mydomain.org. You don't change it. You can use it to match things or set conditions like in the rules. Hope that answers your question.
