I'm following a book tutorial (Effortless Ecommerce by Larry Ullman) to build an ecommerce site. When I add the following code to my htaccess file to rewrite URLs and also enforce SSL, it returns a 500 error when I try to load my site.
Does anyone have any ideas what the problem/solution might be?
RewriteEngine on

RewriteRule ^shop/sales/?$ sales.php

# For HTTPS pages:

RewriteRule ^(checkout\.php|billing\.php|final\.php|admin/(.*))$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]
