Hi, I tried to redirect all incoming queries (http://… and [http://www](http://www)…) to [https://www.domainname.tld](https://www.domainname.tld).  
This is resulting in a multiple redirecting error.  
Just redirecting all to https:// works fine (showing https://… and [https://www](https://www)… depending on incoming domain request), but I want to only show the [https://www-version](https://www-version).

Is there a setting within the admin area where the preferred redirect is set (apart from the canonical entry on the “URLs and Redirect” page?

My hoster said they were unable to set this redirect because there is a setting within concrete5 that would prefer https://… (hostet on cPanel server)  
Thank you for any idea  
Stephan

The only way to configure the served domain names is in the `URLs and Redirection` dashboard page.  
In that page you can set the `Canonical URL` field to the [https://www](https://www)… version, and check the `Only render at canonical URLs ` option so that Concrete redirects requests to the canonical URL.

OK thank you mlocati. So I have to investigate further. There must be some wrong redirects somewhere  
Thx

One more related question.  
I just don’t manage to set a properly working redirect to [https://www](https://www)… in cPANEL.  
IF I would set the canonical and tick the option "only render at canonical URLs, how/where would I remove that setting manually please (just in case)  
Thank you for any help  
Stephan

Solved it. It’s written in the file:  
application/config/generated\_overrides/concrete.php

the line:  
‘redirect\_to\_canonical\_url’ =\> 1,  
is set to  
‘redirect\_to\_canonical\_url’ =\> 0, (if not rendering at canonical URL only)

That configuration option can also be set in the `URLs and Redirection` dashboard page
