I’m using Apache 2.4.7. on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS.
Redirects to https work for all cases (eg. http://www.tripleaf.com goes to https)

However for one case it does not work: http://tripleaf.com or http://tripleaf.com/ does not redirect to https site but shows the directory listing. Please advice.

I also tried the answer at https://www.digitalocean.com/community/questions/change-default-http-to-https but same result.

My .htaccess is:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on

# This checks to make sure the connection is not already HTTPS
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on

# 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

RewriteRule ^/?(.*) https://%{SERVER_NAME}/$1 [R,L]

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

RewriteRule ^$ app/webroot/ [L]
RewriteRule (.*) app/webroot/$1 [L]
</IfModule>

I have had success just using:

#redirect www to website root
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.(.*)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://%1/$1 [R=301,L]

#force https 
RewriteEngine On 
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 80 
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]

Probably if Serverpilot comes with its own set of redirects
