htaccess always unwritable

Hello,

I’ve just installed this plugin with a clean WordPress. I have given all directories 775 permissions and all files 664. The user ownership is also setup properly. Indeed, I can install plugins through the dashboard, and edit .htaccess through certain plugins directly.

However, in the RSSL debug log it says my .htaccess is not writable. I don’t understand why as it says the same even with 777 permissions.

Although my SSL does work, I would still like it to work with the .htaccess solution. The log:

Options:
* htaccess redirect
* WordPress redirect
* Mixed content fixer
SERVER: apache
SSL is enabled for this site
** Detecting configuration **
plugin version: 3.1.5
Already on SSL, start detecting configuration
SSL type: SERVER-HTTPS-ON
** Configuring SSL **
testing htaccess rules...
test page url, enter in browser to check manually: https://x.xxx.xx.177/wp-content/plugins/really-simple-ssl/testssl/serverhttpson/ssl-test-page.html
htaccess rules test failed with error: cURL error 51: SSL: certificate subject name 'xxxxxxxxx.nl' does not match target host name 'x.xxx.xx.177'
checking if .htaccess can or should be edited...
.htaccess does not contain default Really Simple SSL redirect
.htaccess not writable.
converting siteurl and homeurl to https

Thanks in advance
