  2. Create a\u00a0web.config<\/strong>\u00a0file under the site\u2019s directory and add the following lines to it. In case there already exists a\u00a0web.config<\/strong>\u00a0in your site\u2019s directory, carefully edit it to add these lines:\n
    <?xml version=\"1.0\"?>\n<configuration>\n\u00a0 <system.webServer>\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<rewrite>\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<rules>\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<rule name=\"Redirect to HTTPS\" stopProcessing=\"true\">\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<match url=\"(.*)\" \/>\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 <conditions>\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 <add input=\"{HTTPS}\" pattern=\"^OFF$\" \/>\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 <\/conditions>\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<action type=\"Redirect\" url=\"https:\/\/example.com\/{R:1}\" redirectType=\"Permanent\" \/>\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<\/rule>\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<\/rules>\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<\/rewrite>\n\u00a0 <\/system.webServer>\n<\/configuration><\/pre>\n<\/li>\n
