I was following the guide on https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-an-ssl-certificate-from-a-commercial-certificate-authority and it works up to the point where I can get SSL working if I actively go to https, but anyone who goes to http is stuck there.
I’ve tried:
redirect rules RedirectMatch permanent /(.*) https://www.example.com/$1 Adding those same things to 443
I’ve checked other threads like https://webmasters.stackexchange.com/questions/28875/redirect-permanent-and-https and I think I’m officially out of answers.

Turns out that there was an .htaccess I couldn’t see mucking everything up. Applied a forwarding rule there and it worked out just fine.
Can you try adding the line return 301 https://$host$request_uri; to your VirtualHost and remove all the other HTTPS redirect information?
