Redirect www to https after messing up config files - apache

Question

I got an SSL certificate from Let's Encrypt and after messing up the installation with bad selections at the installation process, I believe I got some broken code in the 000-default.conf file, because currently only if I type example.com it redirects me to https://example.com/, but when I type www.example.com it leaves me at www.example.com without HTTPS. this is how 000-default.conf currently looks like:
<VirtualHost *:80>
# The ServerName directive sets the request scheme, hostname and port that
# the server uses to identify itself. This is used when creating
# redirection URLs. In the context of virtual hosts, the ServerName
# specifies what hostname must appear in the request's Host: header to
# match this virtual host. For the default virtual host (this file) this
# value is not decisive as it is used as a last resort host regardless.
# However, you must set it for any further virtual host explicitly.
#ServerName www.example.com
ServerAdmin webmaster#localhost
DocumentRoot /var/www/html
# Available loglevels: trace8, ..., trace1, debug, info, notice, warn,
# error, crit, alert, emerg.
# It is also possible to configure the loglevel for particular
# modules, e.g.
#LogLevel info ssl:warn
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
# For most configuration files from conf-available/, which are
# enabled or disabled at a global level, it is possible to
# include a line for only one particular virtual host. For example the
# following line enables the CGI configuration for this host only
# after it has been globally disabled with "a2disconf".
#Include conf-available/serve-cgi-bin.conf
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{SERVER_NAME} =example.com
RewriteRule ^ https://%{SERVER_NAME}%{REQUEST_URI} [END,NE,R=permanent]
</VirtualHost>
# vim: syntax=apache ts=4 sw=4 sts=4 sr noet
Edit: Let's Encrypt created more files inside sites-available, alongside 000-default.conf, so I assume you need all them to work together, such as the following file: 000-default-le-ssl.conf:
<IfModule mod_ssl.c>
<VirtualHost *:443>
# The ServerName directive sets the request scheme, hostname and port that
# the server uses to identify itself. This is used when creating
# redirection URLs. In the context of virtual hosts, the ServerName
# specifies what hostname must appear in the request's Host: header to
# match this virtual host. For the default virtual host (this file) this
# value is not decisive as it is used as a last resort host regardless.
# However, you must set it for any further virtual host explicitly.
#ServerName www.example.com

# It is also possible to configure the loglevel for particular

#Include conf-available/serve-cgi-bin.conf
ServerName example.com
Include /etc/letsencrypt/options-ssl-apache.conf
ServerAlias www.example.com
SSLCertificateFile /etc/letsencrypt/live/example.com/fullchain.pem
SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/letsencrypt/live/example.com/privkey.pem
</VirtualHost>
</IfModule>
I have certificate for both www.example.com and example.com.
What do I need to edit to prevent www.example.com access to regular HTTP and redirect it to HTTPS? I can't find out
Thanks

Answer 1

You'll want to include the server name and alias to your virtual host
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster#localhost
ServerName website.com
ServerAlias www.website.com
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^ https://%{SERVER_NAME}%{REQUEST_URI} [END,QSA,R=permanent]
</VirtualHost>
This will force both urls to be redirected. Note that your rule used to be limited to non-www url.

You can just tell it to redirect port 80 to port 443, that's where I'm guessing you are running your ssl, here is an example:
