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. crt.sh | example.com), so withholding your domain name here does not increase secrecy, but only makes it harder for us to provide help.

I cannot reproduce that error. HTTP redirects consistently to HTTPS for me.

We cannot see all of your Apache config. Please edit your post and add 3 backticks before and after the Apache config so we don't lose needed info. Like this:

```
the Apache VirtualHosts

You did not show the URL [in that picture].

[also: I added the three backticks to your original post]
