500 error when using redirect with .htaccess

[svgmx5]

hey everyone, i'm having some problems here..

 

I'm developing a website/e-commerce store. The hosting server has an ssl security certificate installed.

 

In order for people to get automatically redirected to an https from an http website i created an .htaccess with the folllowing:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !ON
RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI}

 

However every time i go on that page that i want it to be an https page i keep getting an 500 error.

 

I have no clue what to do now!

 

Can anyone help me??

500 means "internal server error". Check your webserver's error log.
