Apache2 .htaccess redirect to https not working

I realize this is a question that was answered a lot but the other solutions are not working for me for some reason. I am trying to rewrite http as https but I am still getting 'Bad Request' when I try to browse my website using http.

Here is the code in my .htaccess:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule .* https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]

I have AllowOverride All in the VirtualHost config and I made sure mod_rewrite is enabled.

Any help is appreciated. Let me know if you need more information.

Edit:

Here is my complete .htaccess file:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule .* https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]
RemoveHandler .html .htm
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .htm .html

POSSIBLE Solution: I was using Apache 2.2. This may be a bug with the older version of Apache. I am going to update and I will post again when I know more.

First of all you should be sure of enable mod_rewrite and ssl on your apache, by this codes 

sudo a2enmod rewrite
sudo a2enmod ssl

and then restart your apache

 sudo service apache2 restart

now follow this steps

sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default.conf

and add this codes

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName my.site.com
    ServerAlias my.site.com
    DocumentRoot /var/www/SITE-PATH
    <Directory /var/www/SITE-PATH>
        AllowOverride All
        Order Allow,Deny
        Allow from All
    </Directory>
    ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/project_error.log
    CustomLog /var/log/apache2/project_access.log combined
</VirtualHost>

then go to your website directory /var/www/SITE-PATH and add this code to your .htaccess

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R,L]

and for your ssl credit on path /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/default-ssl.conf you should have something like this

<IfModule mod_ssl.c>
    <VirtualHost _default_:443>
        ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
        ServerAdmin [email protected]
        ServerName my.site.com #important
        ServerAlias my.site.com #important
        DocumentRoot /var/www/SITE-PATH #important
        ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
        CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
        SSLEngine on
        SSLCertificateFile /etc/apache2/ssl/apache.crt #important
        SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/apache2/ssl/apache.key #important
        SSLCertificateFile  /etc/ssl/certs/ssl-cert-snakeoil.pem
        SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/ssl/private/ssl-cert-snakeoil.key
        <FilesMatch "\.(cgi|shtml|phtml|php)$">
                SSLOptions +StdEnvVars
        </FilesMatch>
        <Directory /usr/lib/cgi-bin>
                SSLOptions +StdEnvVars
        </Directory>
        BrowserMatch "MSIE [2-6]" \
                nokeepalive ssl-unclean-shutdown \
                downgrade-1.0 force-response-1.0
        BrowserMatch "MSIE [17-9]" ssl-unclean-shutdown
    </VirtualHost>
</IfModule>
# vim: syntax=apache ts=4 sw=4 sts=4 sr noet

if you go all steps right, you should have this at end

http://my.site.com => redirect to => https://my.site.com

EDIT: for more detail on SSL please follow How To Create a SSL Certificate on Apache for Ubuntu 14.04 and this post
