        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>

                    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.

                        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
