Apache http to https redirect is not working

Symptoms

When using Apache, redirection does not work after enabling the Redirect HTTP-requests to HTTPS option in the site settings.

Causes

The .htaccess file contains the RewriteEngine on directive.

Solution

Two possible solutions:

• Use the inherit value instead of on. In this case, Apache will inherit the rules from the site configuration;
• Manually set the redirect rules, sourcing them from the site configuration.
