Apache won’t force https://domain to https://www.domain (Rewrite not working)

After setting up Apache 2.4 and Wordpress, I’m getting the following SSL error message:

$ wget "https://example.com"
Resolving example.com (example.com)... 192.168.15.5
Connecting to example.com (example.com)|192.168.15.5|:443... connected.
ERROR: no certificate subject alternative name matches
requested host name ‘ example.com’.
To connect to example.com insecurely, use `--no-check-certificate'.

To make the domain name match my SSL certificate ( www.example.com), I tried to tweak the site configuration to redirect https://example.com to https://www.example.com. It isn’t working though: The http-to-https redirects function as expected, but naked-domain to www-domain does not.

Here’s my site configuration:

<VirtualHost *:80>
        ServerName example.com
        ServerAlias www.example.com
        Redirect permanent / https://www.example.com/
</VirtualHost>
                                                                                                  
<IfModule mod_ssl.c>
        <VirtualHost _default_:443>
            ServerName www.example.com

            Protocols h2 http/1.1

            ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
            DocumentRoot /var/www/html
            DirectoryIndex index.php

            RewriteEngine on            #### Doesn’t work at all ####
            RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^example\.com [NC]
            RewriteRule ^/(.*) https://www.example.com/$1 [L,R=301]


            ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
            CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined

            # SSL with Letsencrypt                                                                                                                Include /etc/letsencrypt/options-ssl-apache.conf
            SSLEngine on
            SSLCertificateFile      /etc/letsencrypt/live/www.example.com/fullchain.pem
            SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/letsencrypt/live/www.example.com/privkey.pem
                                                                             
    </VirtualHost>
</IfModule>

The site itself works fine, and .htaccess contains only the lines created by Wordpress.

Any input is appreciated.

You still need a valid certificate for http://example.com. The redirect happens after a valid TLS connection is established.

Grab a certificate for example.com with www.example.com in the SAN field.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
