301/302 header
-
Hi,
I changed from http to https with SSL certificate and have added the following code in my htaccess:RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !^on$
RewriteRule (.*) https://www.mysitesurl.com/$1 [R,L]RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www.
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]But Moz returns a:
Temporary Redirect
Using HTTP header refreshes, 302, 303, or 307 redirects will cause search engine crawlers to treat the redirect as temporary and not pass any link equity to other pages. We highly recommend that you replace temporary redirects with 301 redirectAnd additional header checkers return a 302 also when I check http://www.mysitesurl.com/:
HTTP/1.1 302 Found =>
Date => Tue, 05 May 2015 09:31:18 GMT
Server => Apache/2
Location => https://www.mysitesurl.com/
Content-Length => 214
Connection => close
Content-Type => text/html; charset=iso-8859-1Anybody an idea why there is no 301 result?
Thanks

Hi Matt,
Thanks for that, have changed the code as you advised to:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !^on$
RewriteRule (.*) https://www.mysitesurl.com/$1 [R**=301**,L]RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www.
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]and it seems to work!
HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently =>
Date => Tue, 05 May 2015 12:07:49 GMT
Server => Apache/2
Location => https://www.mysitesurl.com/
Content-Length => 238
Connection => close
Content-Type => text/html; charset=iso-8859-1Thanks a bunch!!!

Ok thanks for the PM. I see the issue now - didn't need the URL after all, just a few more minutes to process.
The redirect is matching the first rule. You only have R,L so R by itself defaults to 302. It's picking up that before the other rule so it stops processing.
Set the top rule to R=301 and make sure you see a true 301 after that. If not, I'm wrong. haha But I think that's it.

Going to need the actual URL I think. If you can't post here, PM it - but I don't see the issue.

Why RogerBot can't crawl site https://unplag.com
Hello Please help me to solve the problem. The on-page grader and Crawl Test are not working for Unplag.com website. Both said that they can't access the url. Yes, I've tried different variants like unplag.com, http://unplag.com One more thing - RogerBot was disallowed in robots.txt file. I deleted it from the file a week ago so maybe moz index haven't been renewed.

Moz / more changes on the way?
I love Moz and the community and all the tools here. I admit I haven't rolled around in all the new things rolled out a few months ago. I thought there were more changes on the way but I wasn't sure if those already happened and I missed them or if I need to be patient? Affiliate program, client reporting? Thanks for any response. Have a great weekend! Matthew
