.htaccess mod rewrite for SSL?

[alhefner]

I have now installed SSL for my website and using the "https" does bring the site up but, the URL is directed to "http" and there is no security icon shown.

I tried editing the prestashop installed .htaccess file by pasting the following code into it:

 

# Always use https for secure connections
# Replace 'www.example.com' with your domain name
# (as it appears on your SSL certificate)
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 80
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.highdeserttobacco.com/$1 [R=301,L]

The result was that the site could not properly resolve to the correct domain.

So, if any [spam-filter] could chime in and lead me by the hand to properly modify .htaccess to force a secure connection, I would really appreciate it!

My site URL is http://www.highdeserttobacco.com and https://www.highdeserttobacco.com both will get to the main page which now shows maintenance mode.

Thank you all!
