I just installed let’s encrypt in my blog that runs on apache. I had before a redirection from http:// www. [miguelgfierro.com](http://miguelgfierro.com) to http:// [miguelgfierro.com](http://miguelgfierro.com). I used Redirect to do it and it worked well. However, when I installed let’s encrypt now suddenly I have the both links redirect to https:// www. [miguelgfierro.com](http://miguelgfierro.com) and I don’t know why.

My current configuration is the following:

```
<VirtualHost *:443>        
ServerName www.miguelgfierro.com
ServerAlias miguelgfierro.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/sciblog 
SSLEngine On
SSLCertificateFile /etc/letsencrypt/live/www.miguelgfierro.com/cert.pem
SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/letsencrypt/live/www.miguelgfierro.com/privkey.pem
SSLCertificateChainFile /etc/letsencrypt/live/www.miguelgfierro.com/chain.pem
</VirtualHost>

```

I don’t have a configuration with VirtualHost: \*80 right now because it’s not affecting the server at all, so I erased it.

I would like to redirect everything (http://, http:// www, https:// and https:// www.) to [https://miguelgfierro.com](https://miguelgfierro.com). I tried to use Rewrite and Redirect but none of them work. Any help is appreciated

Hello @hoaphumanoid,

Hope this helps:

</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:443>
