# HTTP not working (only HTTPS)

 * Hi,
 * After installation, website returns “Internal Server Error” for all pages on 
   the website.
 * However, pages are accessible using HTTPS.
 * Is this the expected behaviour ?
 * How do I create a rule to redirect HTTP pages to HTTPS using iThemes Security?
 * Thanks!

 * **I have again SSL related issue.**
 * **so what I want?**
 * 1) whole site should non SSL (accept few pages)& that should have www. means 
   when people type yoursite.com or [http://www.yoursite.com](http://www.yoursite.com)
   then they should redirect to [http://www.yoursite.com](http://www.yoursite.com)
   
   2) some pages should be secured by SSL means that should redirect when visitors
   types yoursite.com/store or [http://www.yoursite.com/store](http://www.yoursite.com/store)(
   those page is selected by “Enable SSL setting” which is given on every signal
   page)
 * But instead of these what I’m getting or my problems are…
 * 1)right now when visitors type [https://www.yoursite.com/](https://www.yoursite.com/)
   or [http://www.yoursite.com](http://www.yoursite.com) or yoursite.com they are
   getting “This web page has a redirect loop” error in chrome & “The page isn’t
   redirecting properly” error in Mozilla!(in this condition my itheme security 
   setting is “Front End SSL Mode: Per content”)
 * 2) but when I’m changing the setting to “Front End SSL Mode: whole site” then
   site works well & get [https://yoursite.com](https://yoursite.com) for all conditions(
   when visitors types [https://www.yoursite.com/](https://www.yoursite.com/) or
   [http://www.yoursite.com](http://www.yoursite.com) or yoursite.com)
 * 3)And other option “Front End SSL Mode: Off” is also not work because site is
   running but I get [https://www.yoursite.com](https://www.yoursite.com) for all
   three conditions.!
 * Since last 4 month my site was working good after giving your answer. but before
   few days(3-4days)it’s start giving these type of problem but my admin penal wasn’t
   any https(& before 3-4 days;I had reinstall my WordPress by going to [http://www.yoursite.com/wp-admin/update-core.php](http://www.yoursite.com/wp-admin/update-core.php)
   because on those days I was facing problem is that sometime my non-SSL page also
   redirect to [https://www.yoursit.com/page](https://www.yoursit.com/page))
 * Right now my admin penal has https (Force SSL for Login & Force SSL for Dashboard
   is on),I have w3 total cache plugin(if I have deactivate this plugin still the
   problem is not changed),I have hostgator shared hosting.& my .htaccess file has
   thes code:(which you suggested in this forum for redirecting [http://yoursite](http://yoursite)
   to [http://www.yoursite.but](http://www.yoursite.but) these code has no effect
   on above problem because when I have remove the this code the problem is still
   remaining)
 * # BEGIN WordPress
    RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\. RewriteRule
   ^(.*)$ [http://www.%](http://www.%){HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L] RewriteBase / RewriteRule
   ^index\.php$ – [L] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}!-
   d RewriteRule . /index.php [L] # END WordPress
 * today on 16/09/2014 I have update itheme security plugin but the problem is still
   remaining & after updating this plugin your plugin icon was gone from sidebar
   of my dashboard.
 * If I will successful in setting up “Front End SSL Mode: Per content” then may
   be my all problem will solved
 * I hope you can understand my problem & please try to solve this.
    Thank you
