Edit the /etc/httpd/congf/httpd.conf on your server - edit the virtual host to change to https and restart at apache

Change the lines:

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST}                !^your.ip.add.ress(:80)?$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST}                !^secure.yourdomain.tld(:80)?$
RewriteRule ^/(.*)                      http://secure.yourdomain.tld/$1 [L,R]


to:

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST}                !^your.ip.add.ress(:80)?$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST}                !^secure.yourdomain.tld(:80)?$
RewriteRule ^/(.*)                      https://secure.yourdomain.tld/$1 [L,R]


Notice the subtle change between http and https.

Once completed, restart apache using:

/etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd restart

Should change your domain to ONLY be accessible via https.
