Yeah, you’re not reading it, or you would get a 500 internal error. - Make sure it is called `.htaccess` (with the dot) - Make sure it is “plain text.” - It sounds like it is in the right place - Are you using CloudFlare? ---

okay, the `.htaccess` file _is_ being parsed. The fix is simple, sorry I had forgotten. Simply changing the code to: ```auto RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.emilybolam.com/$1 [R=301,L] ``` fixed the issue. 🙂 ---

Pretty sure I have 80 set as well… ---

Might be causing your problem with redirects you thought was cloud flare. ---

Occurred to me once I saw that… I didn’t change anything except CF and I added a robots.txt that just blocks one page. Greg will hopefully let me know. ---

I have modified my response in order to avoid confusing users. Please disregard. No, this has nothing do with @LSPhoto CloudFlare issues. ---

A little context for you, a feature of Chillidog users is that we automatically accelerate a user’s website. This is different than Apache. Sorry for the confusion 🙂 ---

Thanks @barchard. So going forward if I keep a note of these three lines and replace [www.domainname.com](http://www.domainname.com) with the relevant URL each time, then that’ll work for new sites on CDog? Rob ---

yes, plus the code is far more robust and would work on other hosts too. `RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 80` is the older style of doing this ---

Sorry to hijack this post, but thanks to @barchard, who also cleared up a problem I was having with Cloudflare. Love my Chillidog! [Previous page](https://forums.realmacsoftware.com/t/solved-modify-htaccess-file-for-https/11652.md?page=1)
