Apache/2.4.41 (Ubuntu) Server at example.com Port 80
I check log
sudo tail -100 /var/log/apache2/error.log
This is result
[Wed Jul 20 07:18:22.838769 2022] [rewrite:error] [pid 234347] [client 49.228.236.32:37690] AH00670: Options FollowSymLinks and SymLinksIfOwnerMatch are both off, so the RewriteRule directive is also forbidden due to its similar ability to circumvent directory restrictions : /var/www/example/
I fix in apache2.conf and .htaccess
<VirtualHost *:80>
<Directory /usr/share>
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
<Directory /var/www>
Options +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
AllowOverride All
Order deny,allow
Allow from all
</Directory>
#<Directory /srv>
# Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
# AllowOverride All
# Require all granted

RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]

Hello,
As your HTTPS version is working as expected, what I could suggest is to add a redirect from HTTP to HTTPS so that the users would be redirected to the correct version rather than seeing the 403 error.
You can do that by adding the following to your Apache virtual host for port 80:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\. [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/\.well-known/acme-challenge/
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L,QSA]
Hope that this helps!
Best,
Bobby
