I am using

Joomla 1.5.9
Virtuemart 1.1.2
sh404SEF

I am using .htaccess to force all URLs to https because I consistently had problems with my cart not passing items back and for from SSL. Also forcing www

$livesite is set to https://www.mydomain.com

I want to use .htaccess to redirect all requests to https EXCEPT for the homepage www.mydomain.com - leaving that http://www.mydomain.com

I have managed to get htaccess to do this, but then I get a 404 error presumably from $livesite being set to https

here is part of my htaccess

If I add this

It will go to http://www.mydomain.com but I get a 404 error (Joomla level, not server)

I need to do this because I have some linked content on the homepage (youtube) that causes errors on more secure machines and on blackberrys wont load at all because of https:

Greetings jasonyohon:

Please consider upgrading to Joomla 1.5.15 as 1.5.9 is vulnerable to hacking.

Untested... I would recommend adding a trailing slash to your last rewrite statement.

Thank you.
