I’m trying to help a guy get his SSL working on Hostgator and for some reason I just can do it. The SSL cert is installed and the config.local.php file is fine so I’m thinking that his problem must be with his .htaccess file.
Below is the .htaccess file. Does it look ok? What is wrong? Any ideas?
DirectoryIndex index.html index.php<br />
<br />
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c><br />
RewriteEngine on<br />
# Some hostings require RewriteBase to be uncommented<br />
# Example:<br />
# Your store url is http://www.yourcompany.com/store/cscart<br />
# So "RewriteBase" should be:<br />
# RewriteBase /store/cscart<br />
RewriteBase /<br />
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f<br />
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d<br />
RewriteRule . index.php?sef_rewrite=1 [L,QSA]<br />
<br />
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} .*\/catalog\/.*<br />
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d<br />
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}/index.html !-f<br />
RewriteRule . index.php?sef_rewrite=1 [L,QSA]<br />
<br />
</IfModule><br />
<br />
<IfModule mod_deflate.c><br />

Thank you,<br />
