How to direct https requests to http while SSL cert expired? [duplicate]

Question

The SSL certificate on my site has expired, which has caused https requests to the site to fail.

While I am sorting out a new SSL certificate, what can I do to redirect https requests into the http requests?

The https folder of my site is sym-linked to the http folder.

OMG i just come to this forum for the first time to ask almost same question and it happened that it's in last few questions :D — mariotanenbaum

If you have Apache and mod_rewrite, then put this script in a .htaccess file that needs to be in your root folder

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} on
RewriteRule (.*) http://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI}

You would have added http to http redirect in your .htaccess file or your .conf file.

Open the file where the redirect has been added and comment the redirect/rewrite code.

Your website will start to resolve using http:// protocol.
