I have installed an SSL certificate to my website [bestlife.epizy.com](http://bestlife.epizy.com)  
I have added  
Destination  
CNAME Record  
Private Key   
Certificate  
I did all steps but still, my site doesn’t redirect to HTTPS although added the  
RewriteEngine On  
RewriteCond %{HTTP:X-Forwarded-Proto} !https  
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off  
RewriteCond %{HTTP:CF-Visitor} !{“scheme”:“https”}  
RewriteRule (.\*) https://%{HTTP\_HOST}%{REQUEST\_URI} [L,R=301]  
to htaccess file  
But still, the site redirects to HTTP is there any step to resolve this matter, please?

SSL is working for me:

Try this for the htaccess code:

```auto
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP:X-Forwarded-Proto} =http
RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]

```

Instead of

> [@anon99531952](#):
>
> RewriteEngine On  
> RewriteCond %{HTTP:X-Forwarded-Proto} !https  
> RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off  
> RewriteCond %{HTTP:CF-Visitor} !{“scheme”:“https”}  
> RewriteRule (.\*) https://%{HTTP\_HOST}%{REQUEST\_URI} [L,R=301]

You can also try this

```auto
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP:X-Forwarded-Proto} !https [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP:CF-Visitor} !{“scheme”:“https”}
RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]

```

I checked your account and I see the file name is incorrect.

The name of the file must be `.htaccess`. That’s with a dot at the start. If you omit the dot, the file won’t be used.

You’re right Admin, I deleted the dot, I thought it plus  
It worked now, thank you very much
