Force HTTPS newbie

[truemax]

Hello for the first time i managed to get a ssl for my website.

Atm if you access my page through www. Or even without www i land at http how can i force it to go to https?

Was thinking of redirecting user to https once they hit index page.

But then i thought what if they access non index page?should go to http?

Or with htaccess but no idea where to place it.

All folder/subfolders or just in root page.

Are you using NGINX?

I do not? I got a server from OVH and SSL from Cloudfare

 

The answer must be be easy but never done this before.

What are you using as a web server? Just because you have a domain and a certificate doesn't mean your webserver will magically start using it without any changes.

simply redirect it to https. You can do this using nginx or in your own backend server application. I would suggest using nginx, i mean thats one reason people use reverse proxy.
