Thank you so much!!! I can finally go to bed now

BTW I would also recommend these lines in the default-ssl or default-ssl.conf (depending on what is in your folder when logged into your server
/etc/apache2/sites-available/under: <Virtual host default:443>
Find a place to put this three lines
Header add Strict-Transport-Security "max-age=1576800"
SSLProtocol all -SSLv2 -SSLv3
SSLCipherSuite HIGH:!aNULL:!MD5</VirtualHost>
This will give you a better score at https://sslanalyzer.comodoca.com/

Nice guide for integrating <a href="https://www.cloudways.com/blog/add-ssl-certificates-to-custom-php-sites/">PHP with SSL</a>. But this doesn't include how to write redirect rules so your http php site is redirect to https urls. You can write the redirect rules in .htacess.

Thank you

AWS amazon, I was able to make this guide working in 2020.
anyway, for apache2/php7 you have to change this:
000-default-ssl is now default-ssl
also pay attention to symlink creation. if red, something bad. if its blue, good 4 you.
also, depending on the distribution, to check apache you may apachectl -V
cercatore @ github.com
or httpdctl -V -
