How to make ssl working in bluehost?

Question

Hi I have this sub domain hosted on bluehost.. I have search all over the internet but I guess.. no one has got the problem as I did :(

What I did was added this line of code in .htaccess

#RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 80
#RewriteRule (.*) https://%{SERVER_NAME}/$1 [R,L]

that is redirecting all urls to https.

But when I visit the site I get

https://ci.domain.com/~hevronwo/ci/~hevronwo/ci/~hevronwo/ci/~hevronwo/ci/~hevronwo/ci/~hevronwo/ci/~hevronwo/ci/~hevronwo/ci/~hevronwo/ci/~hevronwo/ci/~hevronwo/ci/~hevronwo/ci/~hevronwo/ci/~hevronwo/ci/~hevronwo/ci/~hevronwo/ci/~hevronwo/ci/~hevronwo/ci/~hevronwo/ci/user/default/dashboard/start/19

FYI: phpinfo() gives me openssl enabled. My .htaccess code:

# For security reasons, Option followsymlinks cannot be overridden.
#Options +FollowSymLinks
Options +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
IndexIgnore */*

RewriteEngine on

RewriteBase /

# if a directory or a file exists, use it directly
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

#RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 80
#RewriteRule (.*) https://%{SERVER_NAME}/$1 [R,L]

RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule ^ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L,QSA,NE]

# otherwise forward it to index.php
RewriteRule . index.php

#RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|robots\.txt)
#RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L]

Try this code for forcing HTTPS:

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule ^ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L,QSA,NE]

Your complete .htaccess:

# For security reasons, Option followsymlinks cannot be overridden.
#Options +FollowSymLinks
Options +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
IndexIgnore */*

RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /

# if a directory or a file exists, use it directly
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule ^ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L,QSA,NE]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
# otherwise forward it to index.php
RewriteRule . index.php
