Per your chick-egg twist,
I’d say with 1’s and 0’s on a Linux machine??
the last 2% is gone … forever…
tail it back…tevo.
catch it on Netflix!
show:
tail /etc/apache2/apache2.conf
ok so nothing mysterious going on there.
The magic is all in sites-enabled/*.conf
…
but we already looked at the default file…
Please show the SSL file:
/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default-le-ssl.conf
Permission Denied???
I am gRoot user!!
No problem. Incredible how you programmers are able to recall and store these commands in memory… IQ Over 9000!!!

more /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default-le-ssl.conf

I’d say it was the rooster!

OK we are now well versed in futility.
I don’t see where this hung a left.
please restart the apache server/service.
[if all else fails reboot]
Mind boggling!!
I mean, if you access via https:// it loads just fine.
Just doesn’t redirect via http://
I do dearly thank you ever so much for the entertaining support!!
Goes to show some personality and humor goes a long way.
Society needs more of it.

Yes
Life without humor is like…
Humor without life [but sadder]
Let’s try the other (more simple) redirection method instead:
RedirectMatch ^/(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}/$1
can you edit?
are you too impaired to drive?
shall I call you an editor?
publicist?
reader?
Think you would be one of those insanely good programmers who has the capability to work at a place like Google… or doing your own hacking like Edward Snowden. haha!!
Your smarts could be used for more humanitarian purposes

OK but can you spell E D I T ?
This is code:
RedirectMatch ^/(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}/$1
[kids don’t try this at home]
You need to edit the file to put that code into it.
can you use “vi” “nano” ?

edit the htaccess file?
Honestly, I don’t 100% follow… more like 5 ~ 10%

edit the HTTP file:
had to use the DeLorean to back to when this thread was much shorter (to find what I was looking for)
And get a “two fisted burger” from Burger King
[did I mention that I work for food?]
edit this file:
/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default.conf
and replace:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %... [I'm not a human OCR]
RewriteCond %... [so not going to type it in]
RewriteCond %... [and yet I did type something in]
RewriteRule ^ https://...[seems like a waste of perfectly goood typing]
wiith
RedirectMatch ^/(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}/$1
Note: replace just means add “#” to start of each line
Like:
#RewriteEngine on
#RewriteCond %... [I'm not a human OCR]
#RewriteCond %... [so not going to type it in]
#RewriteCond %... [and yet I did type something in]
#RewriteRule ^ https://...[seems like a waste of perfectly goood typing]
RedirectMatch ^/(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}/$1
