I have done this so many times but what has broken?

new VS added (the domain is a sub server)

1. Added to top level domain - ok;
2. Added SSL - ok
3. `Web Configuration -> Website Options ` - ok

No it does not  
and validate gives a weird result

 ![validate](https://cdn.forum.virtualmin.com/uploads/default/original/3X/6/a/6a33f84a2080849c765ffd41c7aa229c9a61f49c.png)  
not seen that before (the top level was ok) and the other VS on this VM)

works over here. http (302) → https (200). tried it with wget and lynx.  
and some redirect checker tool, reports the same.

check apache vhost and/or .htaccess, redirection should be there.

i would look there however this is a squeeky new VS the only things added were by Virtualmin it is the default website. where has a rogue ` domain.conf or .htaccess` come from?

the top level VS shows no errors

I do not know how -  
after disabling all VS on this VM (parent and sub) then re-enabling this validated without the error
