    By finding out what causes that redirect. You have to check 1. the configuration of your host for redirection rules and 2. any potantial .htaccess style files inside your documents folder. This task probably will be easier for you if you read a few things about how redirecting is done in an http server. Then you have a more clear idea of what you are looking for.

  • If that is a "normal" installation of a package, then the configuration should be somewhere under /etc/apache2 or /etc/httpd or similar. You are looking for something like RewriteRule... Commented May 25, 2015 at 11:25
  • Sorry dude, it was due to browser cache, which redirect me to https, Thanks dude for helping :) Commented May 25, 2015 at 11:44

For disabling SSL without a command you can manually edit the SSLEngine directive in your ssl configuration file (usually in /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/default-ssl.conf) change:

SSLEngine on

to:

SSLEngine off

restart Apache

sudo service apache2 restart

from: https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/mod_ssl.html
