The link above shows how to redirect all traffic to https but i don’t have the permission to modify the .htaccess file on the server. can anyone help?
Most likely you are editing the wrong file. Perhap a screenshot of directory will give a clearer picture
You need to edit the .htaccess file in the /htdocs direcotry.
You need to edit the .htaccess inside the htdocs folder, try editing via FTP, it should work.
I use this on mine to force https:
Header set Strict-Transport-Security "max-age=31536000" env=HTTPS
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
Is that the file that says DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE at the top? And did you read it and determine that that’s the file you should be editing?
Sorry, I was trying to edit the file in the root directory.
It works now, thanks!!
