Redirecting http traffic to https site using .htaccess file

In order to redirect access from http to https, you must first setup both a http and https host with the same host name.

  1. Create a .htaccess file using the MAMP PRO Editor and save this file in your document root.
  2. Add the following lines to your .htaccess file.

MAMP

<ifmodule mod_rewrite.c="">  
RewriteEngine On   
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off    
RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]    
</ifmodule>
