title: virtual host config file not redirecting http to https
body: <p>I have the problem of redirecting the http to https but all the information/tutorials and descriptions are not working. We are using Apache2 on a Debian machine and this is the conf file</p>
  <pre><code>&lt;VirtualHost *:80&gt;
          # The ServerName directive sets the request scheme, hostname and port that
          # the server uses to identify itself. This is used when creating
          # redirection URLs. In the context of virtual hosts, the ServerName
          # specifies what hostname must appear in the request's Host: header to
          # match this virtual host. For the default virtual host (this file) this
          # value is not decisive as it is used as a last resort host regardless.
          # However, you must set it for any further virtual host explicitly.
          #ServerName www.example.com
  
          ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
          ServerName assets.xxx.it
          ServerAlias assets.xxx.it
          DocumentRoot /var/www/assets/eit_resource_manager_frontend/build
          # Available loglevels: trace8, ..., trace1, debug, info, notice, warn,
          # error, crit, alert, emerg.
          # It is also possible to configure the loglevel for particular
          # modules, e.g.
          #LogLevel info ssl:warn
  
          ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
          CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
  
          # For most configuration files from conf-available/, which are
          # enabled or disabled at a global level, it is possible to
          # include a line for only one particular virtual host. For example the
          # following line enables the CGI configuration for this host only
          # after it has been globally disabled with &quot;a2disconf&quot;.
          #Include conf-available/serve-cgi-bin.conf
  
          RedirectMatch ^(.*)$ https://assets.xxx.it$1   
  &lt;/VirtualHost&gt;
  &lt;VirtualHost *:443&gt;
    ServerName assets.xxx.it
    ServerAlias assets.xxx.it
  
    Protocols h2 http/1.1
  &lt;Directory &quot;/var/www/assets/eit_resource_manager_frontend/build&quot;&gt;
  RewriteEngine on
  #Don't rewrite files or directories
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
  RewriteRule ^ - [L]
  #Rewrite everything else to index.html to allow html5 state links
  RewriteRule ^ index.theml [L]
  &lt;/Directory&gt;
    
  
    # SSL Configuration
  
    # Other Apache Configuration
  
  Include /etc/letsencrypt/options-ssl-apache.conf
  SSLCertificateFile /etc/letsencrypt/live/assets.xxx.it/fullchain.pem
  SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/letsencrypt/live/assets.xxx.it/privkey.pem
  &lt;/VirtualHost&gt;
  
  </code></pre>
  <p>After any change in the file I restart the server but the HTTP is not redirected to HTTPS. I have tried different implementation with same poor result.
  For further information, the login page is on assets.xxx.it/login and the redirect from &quot;/&quot; to &quot;/login&quot; is handled inside the app (via React Router)</p>
  <p>Any suggestions?</p>
