strange web behaviour just noticed - https loads correctly, http does not?

I have a sandbox url hocheapo.com and I hang websites off it. for example, hocheapo.com/child1 is a nice wordpress site.
suddenly - if i access via https:/hocheapo.com/child1 we are good.
but http://hocheapo.com/child1 gives Error 404.
I have the redirect HTTP -> HTTPS checked under the hocheapo website. this just started happening recently?

in the vhost for hocheapo.com I see:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/\.well-known/acme-challenge/
RewriteRule ^ - [END]
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L,NE]


where is the 404 error coming from?? is there something else I need to do?
thanks till!

 

ah ENLIGHTENMENT. a weird one. fixed. a very recent website, I did not put * for the IP address. confused the heck out of apache! put the the * and all seems good.
