HTTP to HTTPS Apache Rewrite not working - mod-rewrite

Question

I have an apache2 server running on Ubuntu that I am toying with to step my sys admin skills up. I've been trying to set up a webserver with HTTPS throughout the entire site. Currently, If I go to https://mysite.com it works just fine. I've tried a few different redirect rules to make all connections to the site be forced to HTTPS, but I'm having no luck. Can anyone point out my mistake here?
httpd.conf:
NameVirtualHost *:443
<VirtualHost *:443>
ServerName mysite.com
ServerAdmin webmaster#localhost
DocumentRoot /var/www/
SSLEngine on
SSLOptions +FakeBasicAuth -StrictRequire +ExportCertData
SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/ssl/crt/myserver.key
SSLCertificateFile /etc/ssl/crt/mysite_com.crt
SSLCertificateChainFile /etc/ssl/crt/mysite.ca-bundle
<Directory />
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
</Directory>
<Directory /var/www/>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride AuthConfig Options FileInfo Limit
Order allow,deny
allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
<IfModule !mod_rewrite.c>
LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so
</IfModule>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
RewriteRule ^/(.*) https://%{SERVER_NAME}/$1 [R,L]
ports.conf:
NameVirtualHost *:80
Listen 80
<IfModule mod_ssl.c>
# If you add NameVirtualHost *:443 here, you will also have to change
# the VirtualHost statement in /etc/apache2/sites-available/default-ssl
# to <VirtualHost *:443>
# Server Name Indication for SSL named virtual hosts is currently not
# supported by MSIE on Windows XP.
Listen 443
</IfModule>
<IfModule mod_gnutls.c>
Listen 443
</IfModule>
Any help is greatly appreciated!

Finally figured it out... It wasn't my rewrite rule that wasn't working, but rather a conflict with the proxy I was using (cloudflare). For those in a similar situation, you have to create a "Page Rule" within the cloudflare dashboard, otherwise it will ignore you Apache rules.
