Edit .htaccess file in your project folder and add these lines.It will Redirect all http traffic to https.

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 80 
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://mydomainname.com/$1 [R,L]

Answer 3

Try to change host

'components' => array( ... 'request' => array( 'HostInfo' => 'https://mydomainname.com', ), ... ),

Answer 4

The "single shot" way is to set https:// in the baseUrl parameter from the configuration:

... 'components' => array( ... 'request' => array( 'baseUrl' => ' https://mydomainname.com/site', ), ... ),

Answer 5

You're best off creating a custom UrlManager implementation as described here:

The benefit is that your users won't have to suffer through needless double redirects every time you have a genuine redirect.
