To migrate a Symfony website from HTTP to HTTPS, you can follow these steps:

  1. Purchase an SSL certificate: The first step is to purchase an SSL certificate from a trusted certificate authority.
  2. Install the SSL certificate on your server: Once you have purchased the SSL certificate, you will need to install it on your server. Most hosting providers have documentation on how to install SSL certificates on their servers.
  3. Update your Symfony configuration: Update your Symfony configuration to use HTTPS instead of HTTP. You will need to modify your Symfony routing configuration, security configuration, and any hardcoded links in your code to use HTTPS.
  4. Update your .htaccess file: If you are using Apache as your web server, you will need to update your .htaccess file to redirect HTTP requests to HTTPS. You can add the following lines to your .htaccess file to achieve this:


RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off RewriteRule ^ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]

  1. Update your website URL: Update your website URL in your Symfony configuration to use HTTPS instead of HTTP. You can do this in your parameters.yml file or in your Symfony routing configuration.
  2. Test your website: After making these changes, test your website to ensure that it is properly redirecting users to the HTTPS version of your website. You can use tools like SSL Labs to check if your SSL certificate is installed correctly and your website is secure.


By following these steps, you can successfully migrate your Symfony website from HTTP to HTTPS.
