Answer 1

Just to add a solution here. This might help for LAMP users

Options +FollowSymLinks -SymLinksIfOwnerMatch

The above mentioned line in the virtual host configuration was the culprit.

Virtual Host Configuration when error

    DocumentRoot /var/www/html/load/web
    ServerName dev.load.com
    
        Options +FollowSymLinks -SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
        AllowOverride All
        Require all granted
        Order Allow,Deny
        Allow from All
    
     RewriteEngine on
     RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} !^443$
     RewriteRule ^/(.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [NC,R=301,L]

Working Configuration

    DocumentRoot /var/www/html/load/web

   ServerName dev.load.com
   

        AllowOverride All

        Options All

        Order Allow,Deny

        Allow from All

    

    # To allow authorization header
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteCond %{HTTP:Authorization} ^(.*)
    RewriteRule .* - [e=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%1]

   # RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} !^443$
   # RewriteRule ^/(.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [NC,R=301,L]
