Hello Tim,

Did you edit any other files?

You would need to email me your FTP info for me to look at the files.

Hello Tim, I tried to redirect my website to htpps the way you said but my website is unaccessable since :(
Can you look at it please

You added the code for the .htaccess file into the sy-config file which caused that. I have it fixed and also forcing httpS so nothing else you need to do.

I'm trying to do an HTTPS redirect, but when I go into the admin and click on the settings menu, neither "edit .htaccess file" nor "edit config file" appear as options on the left side list. Are these options found elsewhere in the admin?

Underneath the left menu.

Thanks, but I just killed my site. I did step one, edit .htaccess file, and put the following in

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

And when I clicked save, Chrome gave me "page isn't working" error, and now I can't access either the admin or the site directly. Did the sy-config.php. need to be done before saving?

What should I try to do at this point?

I downloaded the .htaccess file with Filezilla, here is the full content now:

ErrorDocument 404 /404.php
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 80
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.rwphotography.com/$1 [R,L]

AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/html text/plain text/xml application/xml application/xhtml+xml text/css text/javascript application/javascript application/x-javascript



Header set Cache-Control "max-age=604800, public"


Does all of that look correct?

It could be that the server doesn't like that method. Replace the contents of the .htaccess file with the follow:

ErrorDocument 404 /404.php
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www.rwphotography.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.rwphotography.com/$1 [L,R=301]

<ifModule mod_deflate.c>
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/html text/plain text/xml application/xml application/xhtml+xml text/css text/javascript application/javascript application/x-javascript
</ifModule>

<FilesMatch ".(jpg|jpeg|png|gif|swf|js|css)$">
Header set Cache-Control "max-age=604800, public"
</FilesMatch>

Ok, I tried that and still not working. Chrome still says:

ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS

Remove this part of the code from the .htaccess file and re-upload it.

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www.rwphotography.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.rwphotography.com/$1 [L,R=301]


Since neither method works, you will need to find out from your hosting company the way to force httpS with their hosting.

Ok, thanks for the help. It's back up with that.

I'll call the host and see what they say about it. It's hosted on Web.com, FWIW.
