How to Redirect HTTP to HTTPS on Apache?

Environment: Ubuntu with Apache.

Trying to setup automatic redirection from http to https.

I have tried:

<VirtualHost *:80>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
    RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI}
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:443>
    SSLEngine on
    SSLCertificateFile    <path to your crt file>
    SSLCertificateKeyFile   <path to your private key file>

    # ...
</VirtualHost>

and

    RewriteEngine on
    ReWriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} !^443$
    RewriteRule ^/(.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [NC,R,L]

From mydomain.com — To —> (https://) mydomain.com

Any ideas?

    First create a virtual host based on this tutorial:
    Apache Web server – Setting Up Virtual Hosts

    Secondly you can create a Let’s encrypt cert and if you use certbot it will automatically configures your Apache and do the redirection:

    I use this code

    <VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName foo.com
    ServerAlias www.foo.com

    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine on

    RewriteRule ^ - [E=protossl]
    RewriteCond %{HTTPS} on
    RewriteRule ^ - [E=protossl:s]

    RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
    RewriteRule ^ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]

    </IfModule>

</VirtualHost>

    Make sure you can access your website both through HTTP and HTTPS. Also make sure mod_rewrite is enabled, then you can add these lines to your .htaccess file.

    RewriteEngine On 
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off 
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
