forcing https in htaccess with mvc showing 404 errors for js and css files – Apache

I am trying to force https with my .htaccess file but when I do, the layout breaks and I get 404 errors in console for pretty much everything from css files to js files etc. I am using a MVC structure.

In my config file I have:

define('URLROOT', 'https://www.example.com');

In my header all my css files are called like this:

<link href="<?php echo URLROOT; ?>/css/style.css" rel="stylesheet">

My .htaccess looks like:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
 RewriteEngine on
 RewriteRule ^$ public/ [L]
 RewriteRule (.*) public/$1 [L]
 RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
 RewriteRule (.*) https://www.example.com/$1 [R=301,L]
</IfModule>

Also, If I type in https://example.com it goes to https but if I just type in example.com it defaults to http which is also a problem.

    Move your http -> https rule on top:

    RewriteEngine on

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

RewriteRule ^$ public/ [L]
RewriteRule (.*) public/$1 [L]

    Make sure to test in a new browser to avoid old browser cache.

    Place this on top of your .htaccess, make sure to change the domain name and you are set – all HTTP requests (even those to static files) will get redirected to HTTPS:

    RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
RewriteRule .* https://www.example.com/%{REQUEST_URI} [R,L]
