You have to see in which virtualhost section this rule was put into.
I'm pretty sure it's only in the http section.

Betreff: Question on a rewrite rule
Hello
After installation of Letsencrypt free SSL, it adds a rule into apache's config
file:
RewriteCond %{SERVER_NAME} =sample.com
RewriteRule ^ https://%{SERVER_NAME}%{REQUEST_URI} [END,NE,R=permanent]
I know it means when SERVER_NAME is sample.com, it rewrites the plain HTTP
request to HTTPS request.
My question is, is this not a dead loop?
For HTTPS request, the SERVER_NAME is also matched, so it rewrites again and
again...
My guess it's a dead rewrite loop, but it actually works fine.
I am not sure about this, please help.
Thanks.
