I wanted to share my .htacces code for the people who would like to use an ssl.

First off, be sure to enable SSL in the admin area, Config -> Store-settings -> Server

Edit your .htaccess file ( in root folder );

• RewriteBase /opencartsubfoler
  
  RewriteRule ^sitemap.xml$ index.php?route=feed/google_sitemap [L]
  RewriteRule ^googlebase.xml$ index.php?route=feed/google_base [L]
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !.*\.(ico|gif|jpg|jpeg|png|js|css)
  RewriteRule ^([^?]*) index.php?_route_=$1 [L,QSA]
  
  RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
  RewriteRule (.*) https://www.opencartsite.com/opencartsubfoler/ [R]

The first line needs to be set if you're oc install is in a subfolder of root. in this case root/opencartsubfollder/
If OC is in your root folder leave the / so that the line looks like this --> "RewriteBase /"

Ignore line 2 to line 7.

RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off // Checks if the url has https:// if not then do...
RewriteRule (.*) https://www.opencartsite.com/opencartsubfoler/ [R]


What this does it redirects all non www (http://opencartsite.com/opencartsubfoler/) and www (http://www.opencartsite.com/opencartsubfoler/) to https://www.opencartsite.com/opencartsubfoler/





The only thing it doesn't do is redirect https://opencartsite.com/opencartsubfoler/ to https://www.opencartsite.com/opencartsubfoler/

Has anyone got an idea? I'm open for any critical suggestions or alternative solutions!

this can be done without .htaccess.

in config.php root and admin change all urls (change http to https) at beginning of file to:
https://www.opencartsite.com/opencartsubfoler/

opencart does the rewrite correctly.
