I'm trying to allow optional HTTPS for an existing Apache server, but
I can't seem to make it optional. If SSL is Disabled or Optional,

I get both to function?

I usually setup two virtual hosts ... one that listens on port 80, the other that listens on port 443.

Both virtual hosts use the include directive to configure the details ...

For example, for the midrange mailing list archives this is a snippet of what's included in the 'archive.midrange.inc' file...

----------
ServerName archive.midrange.com
ServerAdmin david@xxxxxxxxxxxx
DocumentRoot /usr/local/www/midrange/archive/html
ErrorLog /usr/local/www/midrange/archive/logs/error_log
CustomLog /usr/local/www/midrange/archive/logs/access_log combined env=!loopback
AddOutputFilter DEFLATE js css php html htm
-----------

Then I have two additional files ... archive.midrange.conf and archive.midrange-le-ssl.conf

archive.midrange.conf consists of ...

----------
<VirtualHost *:80>
Include sites/archive.midrange.inc
</VirtualHost>
---------

archive.midrange-le-ssl.conf consists of ...

----------
<IfModule mod_ssl.c>
<VirtualHost *:443>
Include sites/archive.midrange.inc

RewriteEngine on
SSLCertificateFile /etc/letsencrypt/live/archive.midrange.com/fullchain.pem
SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/letsencrypt/live/archive.midrange.com/privkey.pem
Include /etc/letsencrypt/options-ssl-apache.conf
</VirtualHost>
</IfModule>
----------

This is on Linux ... but it's still Apache, so it should will work fine on IBM i.
