Redirect http to https in WHM

Hi :) I have a VPS with several websites, and in one of them, I want to redirect from http to https. Based on the Apache documentation I can do with this:
ServerName www.example.com Redirect / https://www.example.com/
I understand that the best way to do this in the WHM is: Home> Service Configuration> Apache Configuration> Include Editor And here is where I have a couple of questions: 1) Should I put the above code in: Pre Virtual Host include o Post Virtual Host include? 2) If in the future I would like to edit or delete the added code: Can I do it in the WHM? Or should I edit / delete the file included via SSH? Thanks for the help friends and apologize if my English is faulty. Eduardo

  Hello, You can actually add the following entry to the .htaccess file within the account's home directory:
  RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} !=443 RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?example\.com$ [NC] RewriteRule ^$ https://www.example.com/%{REQUEST_URI} [R,L]
  This is easier for the end-user to modify should they decide to change this behavior in the future. Thank you.

  Shouldn't that last line be:
  RewriteRule .* https://www.example.com/%{REQUEST_URI} [R,L]
  Rather than:
  RewriteRule ^$ https://www.example.com/%{REQUEST_URI} [R,L]
  which will only redirect the home page but no other pages at www.example.com.

  Yes, there are several valid alternatives that redirect the pages differently than the example provided. Thank you.

  This worked to me ::)
  RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off RewriteRule ^ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI}

  @aadii786 -it's important to note that your change would affect all the vhosts on the system, instead of just one individual domain. If you want that behavior, that's fine, but I just wanted to mention that.
