Hello,
I'm migrating my site from HTTP to HTTPS. In order to keep my ReDJ redirects functioning after migration, it seems I need to change all destination URLs from http to https.
Because I have 200+ URLs to change, I need a way to perform this edit in bulk. What method do you recommend?
Also, I was wondering if I could just omit the '
www.mysite.com' from all destination URLS? It says to include the domain in ReDJ instructions, but the redirects seem to work ok on both HTTP and HTTPS without including. And omitting the domain will make my job much easier if I experience other issues during this HTTPS migration and need to revert back and forth multiple times. Please advise.
Thank you!
Daniel

Hi Daniel,
macros in the target URL are meant exactly to prevent those problems. If you build the rule using {scheme}:// in the target, the original HTTP / HTTPS will be preserved in the redirect itself.
BTW, now you need to change the existing rules, and the faster way is to SQL dump the redirect table, alter targets with an advanced text editor, and eventually restore the table.
Another option could be a SQL UPDATE on table, but this should be done carefully, to prevent unwantend changing (it depends on your existing rules, actually can't say more with my info).
Kind regards,
Luigi

Thanks Luigi! I got the {scheme} rule working on a one-off basis, but I'm having trouble with the database export/import via phpMyAdmin. I've tried a few different combinations of formatting options and delimiters in the CSV, but every time I get the error message "Invalid column count in CSV input on line 1" and the ReDJ entries remain the same.
Below is a few lines of the CSV file I tried to use. Any suggestions?
1;"/top-it-skills-2013.html";"{scheme}://www.itcareerfinder.com/brain-food/blog/entry/top-ten-it-skills-in-demand-2013.html";;;"301";"1";"1";"1";;;"712";"2017-08-30 12:14:23";"0";"1";"37";"2017-08-30 12:20:50"
2;"/self-paced-training/119.html";"/self-paced-training/udemy-video-courses.html";;;"301";"1";"1";"1";;;"11";"2017-08-29 16:48:02";"0";"1";"0";"0000-00-00 00:00:00"

Thanks,

Hi Daniel,
if you want to follow the export/import approach, it is better to dump data as SQL code.

Hi Luigi,
As suggested, I dumped data as SQL. I then opened the SQL file (in Adobe Dreamweaver), replaced all http with {scheme}, but when I tried to import table via phpMyAdmin I got the following error message (screenshot attached).
This last line in this error message says the table already exists. Should I simply try deleting the table before import? After backing up site of course.
Thanks!
Daniel
