https to http redirection

How to redirect domain from https://domain.com to http://domain.com ?
Ans:
If you tried all the possibilities with the .htaccess file and your domain is still not redirected from https to http then finally you can add following code in virtual host entry means in httpd.conf file.
Search the 443 entry for a domain and add the code. If the 443 entry are not present then create/add it and then add the following code.

=====================
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} ^443$
RewriteRule ^/(.*) http://%{SERVER_NAME}/$1 [L,R]
=====================

For example:

========================
VirtualHost *:443>
ServerName domain.com
ServerAdmin webmaster@example.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/domain.com
ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/domain.com_error_log
CustomLog /var/log/apache2/domain.com_access_log combined
SSLEngine on
SSLCertificateFile /etc/apache2/ssl/apache.pem
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} ^443$
RewriteRule ^/(.*) http://%{SERVER_NAME}/$1 [L,R]

<Directory “/var/www/domain.com/”>
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
Deny from env=keep_out # see file block-these.inc
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
=======================

Restart the apache and Done

  1. Please help…
    Im hosting with startlogic.com
    and my site http://www.thenewagetraveler.com/
    is working with joomla.
    How do I modify this code?
    I try this but not working:
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteCond %{startlogic} ^443$
    RewriteRule ^/(.*) http://%{thenewagetraveler.com}/$1 [L,R]

    1. please use the following code, do not replace SERVER_NAME use the same code.
      RewriteEngine On
      RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} ^443$
      RewriteRule ^/(.*) http://%{SERVER_NAME}/$1 [L,R]
