Redirect HTTP HTTPS

From the GoAdmio knowledge base.

Redirect HTTP to HTTPS

This page explains the Redirect HTTP to HTTPS feature in GoAdmio. It forces all visitors to use the encrypted HTTPS version of a site — any request to http:// is automatically redirected to https://.

Location: Admin Panel → Security → Redirect HTTP to HTTPS
Location (User Panel): Security → Redirect HTTP to HTTPS


Overview

Once a domain has a valid SSL certificate (free or paid), you should redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS. This:

  • Encrypts all traffic — protects credentials, forms, and cookies from interception
  • Prevents mixed-content warnings — browsers warn when an HTTPS page loads HTTP assets
  • Improves SEO — Google uses HTTPS as a ranking signal
  • Avoids duplicate content — one canonical URL instead of two (http:// and https://)
  • Satisfies compliance — PCI DSS, HIPAA, and most security frameworks require HTTPS
  • Removes the "Not Secure" warning — modern browsers flag plain HTTP as insecure
GoAdmio implements the redirect at the web server level — either via .htaccess rules (Apache) or server block directives (NGINX) — so it applies to every request for the domain.

> Note: The redirect requires a valid SSL certificate. If the certificate is missing, expired, or invalid, the redirect will fail or cause a redirect loop. Verify the certificate first — see Check SSL Certificate.


What the Page Shows

| Field / Column | Description |
|---|---|
| Domain | The domain whose redirect is being configured |
| HTTPS Redirect | Whether the redirect is enabled (On/Off) |
| Status | Whether the redirect is active and working |
| Actions | Enable, disable, verify |
| Search | Filter the list by domain |

> Tip: The page may show a verification action that tests the redirect. Use it after enabling to confirm the redirect works as expected.


How to Enable the Redirect

Via the Admin Panel

  1. Log in to the GoAdmio Admin Panel (or User Panel).
  2. Navigate to Security → Redirect HTTP to HTTPS.
  3. Locate the domain.
  4. Enable HTTPS Redirect.
  5. Click Save (or the toggle).
The redirect is applied immediately. Visitors using http:// are redirected to https:// with a 301 Moved Permanently response.

> Tip: Use 301 (permanent) rather than 302 (temporary) — it tells search engines the HTTPS URL is canonical, preserving SEO.

Via CLI

GoAdmio provides a command to rebuild the web server configuration, which applies the redirect:

```bash
/go/conf
