How to point to port 80?

I configured A and AAAA recordings. If I call https://api.meteointelligence.com , everything works fine (with my non valid local certificate). But if i call http://api.meteointelligence.com it points to my ip address and I guess this is the problem. So where do I have to configure that the port 80 should be used?
Or are there any issues with Strato? My Server is hosted by Hetzner but the Domain was bought on strato.

My domain is:
api.meteointelligence.com

I ran this command:

certbot --apache

It produced this output:

Saving debug log to /var/log/letsencrypt/letsencrypt.log
Plugins selected: Authenticator apache, Installer apache

Which names would you like to activate HTTPS for?

Hi @meteoDaniel

checking your domain that doesn't work - https://check-your-website.server-daten.de/?q=api.meteointelligence.com

Host T IP-Address is auth. ∑ Queries ∑ Timeout
api.meteointelligence.com A 176.9.117.21 Falkenstein/Saxony/Germany (DE) - Hetzner Online GmbH Hostname: kvm.esbmz.de yes 1 0
AAAA ::ffff:176.9.117.210 Falkenstein/Saxony/Germany (DE) - Hetzner Online GmbH yes
www.api.meteointelligence.com Name Error yes 1 0
api.meteointelligence.com A 176.9.117.210 Falkenstein/Saxony/Germany (DE) - Hetzner Online GmbH No Hostname found no

The 176.9.117.210 is your old ip address.

But the old answers, the new not:

Domainname Http-Status redirect Sec. G
http://api.meteointelligence.com/ 176.9.117.21 -2 1.127 V
ConnectFailure - Unable to connect to the remote server
http://api.meteointelligence.com/ 176.9.117.210 GZip used - 3138 / 10918 - 71,26 % 200 Html is minified: 223,78 % 0.063 H

So Letsencrypt can't connect your domain because there is no running webserver or a blocking firewall.

And your ipv6 is wrong. That's

::ffff:176.9.117.210

not a public visible ipv6 address.

After using one of the several inspection tools I saw that the IP for the A record was wrong. Now everything works fine. Thanks for your support
