you've got some wierd apache confs and i can't even connect to your https version of website (Connection timeout) (Something / Firewall filtered your port 443 connections)
This is fine
But why do you have two port 443 configs with exact servername(alias) set?
P.S. I personally suggest you do redirects in .htaccess file. (Since it can be flexible)
Nope. It’s not endless loop. It’s working in port 80. However, while I was in the kitchen, I remembered port 443 is being blocked by firewall. So here it’s working already. Thanks everyone.

To answer your suggestion to use .htaccess, I don’t intend to do it that way because it’s configured by Laravel app. So it’s not advisable.
I also use exact same ServerName and ServerAlias because I’m only catching the “/(.*)” part. You may check on the Alias directive.
I’m sure I don’t understand your logic, nor why both blocks can’t be merged into one block.
Nor why, if you are already redirecting from port (ALL):80 to (www):443, then this second 443 block is only for the root domain(:443) to www.domain(:443) redirection.
Based on the code shown, anyone hitting www.domain(:443)/some/other/file should be stuck in a loop.
Unless you did not show all of the code in the blocks.
But even so, why not combine them into one block?
-still confused
I haven’t tried disabling the port 80 (a2dissite), will it automatically redirects to port (www):443? I tried disabling it, the default page in the /var/www/html/index.php is the one that is showing.
Can you check if hitting www.domain(:443)/some/other/file be stuck in a loop? I checked it, it’s not.
Why not combine them? Actually when I was first studying the Apache VirtualHost some 2 years ago that’s the first config that runs okay. So I didn’t change anymore until now. There maybe other way, but I didn’t bother anymore.
But yes you are correct, I can actually combine by removing the second VirtualHost block. I tried changing it, it’s working. Thanks for bringing it up.
