Redirect not working in Apache, HTTP to HTTPS

Question

I want to redirect all of my HTTP requests to my HTTPS (SSL) protocol. Please guys this is not a duplicate. I have already tried every question found on SO which indicate such question but none of them worked. I tried everything I found on the internet but still cannot figure out what the problem is. May be somewhere something has to be enabled or something like that.

I want to redirect from my httpd.conf file not from .htaccess because this is what suggested by Apache Org. My current Redirection Rule is

<VirtualHost *:80> 
    ServerName www.example.com
    Redirect / https://www.example.com/
</VirtualHost > 
<VirtualHost *:443>
    ServerName www.example.com
</VirtualHost >

I am making all of these changes in my httpd.conf file located in /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

After every change, I also restart my server with following /etc/init.d/httpd restart or service httpd restart

I also tried following

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule (.*) https://%{SERVER_NAME}/%$1 [R,L]

But still when I visit my site like www.example.com, I am not redirected to https://www.example.com.

I have a VPS Server so has enough access to my machine to enable or disable something.

have you tried everything in this question? (and make sure you restart apache) — DevDonkey

Try with:

RewriteEngine on 
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule ^ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [NE,L,R]

This working for me:

 # Force SSL
  RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
  RewriteCond %{HTTP:X-Forwarded-Proto} =http
  RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^example.com
  RewriteRule ^.*$ https://%{SERVER_NAME}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]
