How to make an redirectSSL in the vhost - apache

Question

I get slightly crazy :)
I have a domain example.com and I have a SSL certificate for www.example.com
The example.com refers to the IP address of the server (it is an EC2 instance).
In the vhost.conf of the Server I have the following entries
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName example.com
Redirect permanent / https://www.example.com/
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost _default_:443>
ServerName www.example.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/vhosts/example-wp
SSLEngine On
...
</VirtualHost>
I took the information from the apache wiki.
https://wiki.apache.org/httpd/RedirectSSL
Thanks for helping

You already have the necessary directives listed to perform the redirect. You also need to tell the vhost file where your certificate and key for the certificate exist. You also need to say whether or not a directory the user browses to is to load SSL. Please see a full example configuration file below.
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName www.example.com
ServerAlias example.com
Redirect / https://www.example.com/
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:443>
ServerName www.example.com
ServerAlias example.com
ServerAdmin webmaster#local
DocumentRoot /path/to/web/content
DirectoryIndex index.php index.html
ErrorLog logs/error_log
CustomLog logs/access combined
SSLEngine on
SSLCipherSuite ALL:!ADH:!EXPORT56:RC4+RSA:+HIGH:+MEDIUM:+LOW:+SSLv2:+EXP:+eNULL
SSLCertificateFile /etc/apache2/ssl.crt/certfile.cer
SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/apache2/ssl.key/keyfile.key
<Directory "/path/to/web/content/">
Options None
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
SSLRequireSSL
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
