The https version of my site is being indexed by the search engines and has been for a while now.I was hoping to stop this when I converted to CS-Cart but nothing seems to stop them from indexing https pages.



I found a fix that I have tried for two months now and apparently it’s not working. I put an entry in htaccess file as follows:

To redirect all bots to access the secure robots text file,

RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} ^443$

RewriteRule ^robots.txt$ robots_ssl.txt [L]



And have created the robots_ssl file which contains one entry to disallow all bots.



Still I have the same issue. Google does not show the https version in webmaster tools but I know Google is crawling them as my https pages have page rank.



Yahoo list the https version of my site as a subdomain in their webmaster tools and I have not figured out how to get it out of there yet.



Bing/MSN does not have any information on it in their webmaster tools but I would think they are all doing the same thing in that regard.



Just wondering what others have done in regards to this issue as it has me going in circles.



Thanks.

If you are using the SEO addon use this in your robots.txt:

Disallow: /index.php

Thanks for the suggestion, I think I removed that entry but put it back. I hope this works.



I am also talking to CS-Cart as I am not sure what is the right approach and if it would help to implement some type of rel=“nofollow” meta tag on links that are served up secure.

If you find out what pages cs-cart automatically secures you can set an htaccess to redirect everything from https to http except those pages.
