SSL Redirect errors

[Jumpringer]

Adding SSL to existing site; getting redirect errors:

Currently:
1) In .htaccess, redirecting as follows:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.original.org$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^oldomain.com$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.original.org/WPdirectory/$1 [R=301,L]

and
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 80
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.original.org/WPdirectory/$1 [R,L]
</IfModule>

(the above .htaccess does Not result in a padlock or https prefix...site is redirected to http://www.original.org/WPdirectory)

In Options(db), the site and WP urls are set as http://original.org/WPdirectory

If I change the Options to an HTTPS prefix, then I get redirect errors.

An SSL test showed this error:

Error: ERROR: The secure URL you submitted was redirected to:
http://original.org/WPdirectory/
and
Secure URL submitted: https://original.org

Would appreciate insights into how to fix....thanks.

This question has nothing to do with the Genesis Framework or Studio Press themes, but I'll provide some input anyway.

In the first redirect, you are redirecting to http. Here's a much easier https redirect.

# HTTPS
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{SERVER_NAME}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]
</IfModule>
# END HTTPS
