Hi @ymeriergi

Depending on how your vhost configuration is made, you simply change the config:

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

Thanks for replying @hansen first but i have tried before and remember that when i write in search example.com it redirects only to https://example.com not in https://www.example.com. Do you understand what i am meaning ?
