I'm trying to redirect the users of my website from HTTP to HTTPS.

Redirecting the base url http://www.example.com to https://www.exmaple.com work fine, but http://www.example.com/data is redirected to https//www.example.comdata without the / between .com and data.

My full actual .htaccess is:

# BEGIN WpFastestCache
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
#RewriteEngine On
#RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
#RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !on
RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI}
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

I also have another rule in my virtualhost configuration:

 Redirect / https://www.example.com

I have also another rule in virtualhost

Redirect / https://www.example.com

You are missing a trailing slash on the target URL in the Redirect directive. So, it will end up redirecting /foo to https://www.example.comfoo. The Redirect directive is prefix-matching; everything after the match is appended to the end of the target URL. This rule - in the VirtualHost - takes priority over the mod_rewrite directive in .htaccess.

This should read:

Redirect / https://www.example.com/

If you notice in the network traffic, it is also prefixing the www subdomain - which is also not present in the mod_rewrite directive.

If you have this Redirect in the <VirtualHost> container for port 80 (providing it covers both www and non-www requests) then you don't need the corresponding mod_rewrite directive in .htaccess to redirect HTTP to HTTPS.
