And sorry if the wording is a bit misleading on that email - I actually solved the issue whilst I was writing it. To clarify - problem is definitely fixed, thanks :)

I've turned it on and I think I've identified the problem, however I still can't quite find a fix.

As such, it's not seeing the http/https prefix and assuming it's a relative internal path! When I'm trying to set the environment variable, I use the following code: RewriteCond %{HTTPS} =on RewriteRule ^(.+)$ - [env=ps:https] RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on RewriteRule ^(.+)$ - [env=ps:http] The RegEx of ^(.+)$ expects a minimum of 1 character, which there is not to match! I modified it as follows: RewriteCond %{HTTPS} =on RewriteRule ^(.*)$ - [env=ps:https] RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on RewriteRule ^(.*)$ - [env=ps:http] And now it matches, even on 0 characters!

I also need to conditionally redirect depending on SSL enabled or not. I've hacked on a bit from askapache.com<http://www.askapache.com/htaccess/http-https-rewriterule-redirect.html> to create a variable that holds either http or https dependently. Below is the code I'm using: RewriteCond %{HTTPS} =on RewriteRule ^(.+)$ - [env=ps:https] RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on RewriteRule ^(.+)$ - [env=ps:http] RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^mysite\.com\.au(.*)$ [NC] RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^$ RewriteRule ^(.*)$ %{ENV:ps}://www.mysite.com.au/$1<http://www.mysite.com.au/$1> [L,R=301] This works fine for URLs with paths (e.g. mysite.com.au/foo<http://mysite.com.au/foo> redirects to www.mysite.com.au/foo<http://www.mysite.com.au/foo>) and does the http and https switch fine. However when just accessing the domain (just mysite.com.au<http://mysite.com.au>) it redirects tohttp://www.mysite.com.au/home/website/public_html/:/www.mysite.com.au/ I'm sure it's something very small and basic I'm missing - if someone could point it out, that'd be appreciated. Thanks! Andrew Try this way RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^mysite\.com\.au$ [NC] RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^$ RewriteRule ^/(.*)$ %{ENV:ps}://www.mysite.com.au/$1<http://www.mysite.com.au/$1> [L,R=301]
