How do I enable SSL using .htaccess?

To enable SSL using .htaccess, you can add the following code to your .htaccess file:

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

This will redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS.

What if I want to redirect only specific pages?

You can modify the RewriteRule to target specific pages. For example:

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

This will only redirect 'specific-page' to HTTPS.

Is there a way to check if SSL is working correctly?

Yes, you can check if SSL is working by visiting your site with 'https://' in the URL. You can also use online SSL checker tools.

What should I do if I encounter a redirect loop?

A redirect loop can occur if the rules are misconfigured. Ensure that your .htaccess rules are not conflicting and check for any other redirects that might be causing the loop.
