Please fill out the fields below so we can help you better. Note: you must provide your domain name to get help. Domain names for issued certificates are all made public in Certificate Transparency logs (e.g. https://crt.sh/?q=example.com), so withholding your domain name here does not increase secrecy, but only makes it harder for us to provide help.
My domain is: cloud.zonit.com
I ran this command: certbot --apache -d cloud.zonit.com --cert-path /etc/ssl/cert.pem --fullchain-path /etc/ssl/chaincert.pem --key-path /etc/ssl/key.pem
It produced this output:

I’ve looked into the other threads about this, my HTTP to HTTPS redirect is taking place in a VirtualHost directive in the /etc/httpd/conf.d/cloud.conf file - not in an .htaccess file. Most of the threads I’ve found on this matter have to do with people handling HTTPS redirects via .htaccess files.
