I don't think you can use full URI's in a rewrite rule without using
the R (redirect) flag. So I think the rewrite rule you want is:
RewriteRule ^/$ https://www.mydomain.com/beginhere.html [R]

But is www.mydomain.com the name of the apache server you're actually
configuring, because then you don't need to use the full domain, just

RewriteRule ^/$ /beginhere.html [R]

And in this case, you don't need the [R] flag if you don't want, but
it the new URL won't show up in the user's browser without that flag,
it will be a transparent rewrite performed only the server, the user
will be oblivious to it.
