# SSL redirect error

 * Hi there,
 * I switched from qtranslate to mqtranslate a few month ago. Since mqtranslate 
   just announced that they will cease development in favor of qtranslateX I went
   ahead and installed it as well as merged the mqtranslate general settings.
 * There is an SSL redirect issue with qtranslateX. It runs fine otherwise but on
   initial visit it tries to redirect to:
 * [https://www.site.com/de/:443/](https://www.site.com/de/:443/)
    or [https://www.site.com/en/:443/](https://www.site.com/en/:443/)
 * We enforce https on our whole site but somehow that does not seems to work with
   the plugin. Here is the htaccess setting we use:
 *     ```
       <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
       RewriteEngine On
       RewriteBase /
       RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
   
       # First rewrite to HTTPS:
       # Don't put www. here. If it is already there it will be included, if not
       # the subsequent rule will catch it.
       RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
       # Now, rewrite any request to the wrong domain to use www.
       RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.
       RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
       </IfModule>
       # END HTTPS REdirect
       ```
   
 * The same settings work with the original qtranslate as well as mqtranslate. I
   had the “automatic redirect based on users language” deselected and mqtranslate
   deinstalled in order to avoid any mix-ups.
 * Any idea what causes this behaviour in qtranslateX?
 * Best,
    Elmar

 * I do not see in the code so far how [https://www.site.com/de/:443](https://www.site.com/de/:443)
   can happen.
 * Could you try the latest version (3.2-b1) from [GitHub](https://github.com/qTranslate-Team/qtranslate-x),
   which you can download with ‘Download ZIP’ button on GitHub page or press [here](https://github.com/qTranslate-Team/qtranslate-x/archive/master.zip)
   for the sake of convinience?
 * There has been some changes involving port 443, I am not sure if it will help
   you though, but it does not hurt to try.

 * My site is https (443) only – redirect via nginx.conf – no problems related to
   https or whatsoever in neither 3.0 or 3.1.
 * (mind no .htaccess as nginx does not support this – so the rewrite rules are 
   a bit different).
