I needed this for something as simple as redirecting all http traffic from the default apache home page on my server to one served over https   Since I m still quite green when it comes to configuring apache  I prefer to avoid using mod rewrite directly and instead went for something simpler like this    lt VirtualHost   80 gt     lt Location     gt       Redirect permanent  https     HTTP HOST   REQUEST URI      lt  Location gt   lt  VirtualHost gt    lt VirtualHost   443 gt    DocumentRoot   var www html    SSLEngine on        lt  VirtualHost gt    I like this because it allowed me to use apache variables and that way I didn t have to specify the actual host name since it s just an IP address without an associated domain name   References  https   stackoverflow com a 40291044 2089675

Using mod rewrite is not the recommended way instead use virtual host and redirect   In case  if you are inclined to do using mod rewrite   RewriteEngine On   This will enable the Rewrite capabilities  RewriteCond   HTTPS    on   This checks to make sure the connection is not already HTTPS  RewriteRule         https     SERVER NAME   1  R L    This rule will redirect users from their original location  to the same  location but using HTTPS    i e   http   www example com foo  to https   www example com foo    The leading slash is made optional so that this will work either in   httpd conf or  htaccess context   Reference  Httpd Wiki - RewriteHTTPToHTTPS  If you are looking for a 301 Permanent Redirect  then redirect flag should be as    R 301   so the RewriteRule will be like   RewriteRule         https     SERVER NAME   1  R 301 L

If you have Apache2 4 check 000-default conf - remove DocumentRoot and add    Redirect permanent   https    your-domain
