[3]	If you'd like to set HTTP connection to redirect to HTTPS (Always on SSL/TLS), configure each Virtualhost like follows. It's also OK to set it in [.htaccess] not in httpd.conf.

www:~ #

a2enmod rewrite

www:~ #

a2enmod -l

actions alias auth_basic authn_core authn_file authz_host authz_groupfile authz_core authz_user autoindex cgi dir env expires include log_config mime negotiation setenvif ssl socache_shmcb userdir reqtimeout php7 rewrite

www:~ #

vi /etc/apache2/vhosts.d/defalt.site.conf

<VirtualHost *:80>
    DocumentRoot /srv/www/htdocs
    ServerName www.srv.world
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]
</VirtualHost>

www:~ #

systemctl restart apache2

[4]	If Firewalld is running, allow HTTPS service. HTTPS uses 443/TCP.

www:~ #

firewall-cmd --add-service=https --permanent

success
www:~ #

firewall-cmd --reload

success

[5]	Verify to access to the test page from a client computer with a Web browser via HTTPS. If you set Always On SSL/TLS, access with HTTP to verify the connection is redirected to HTTPS normally, too.
