Amazon Web Service : Certificate Manager SSL Workaround-CodePudding

I have set up an EC2 instance. Logged in with server and set up apache2 in it.

Created Route53 for example.com and pointed NS record to Domain provider. So, I am going to use Route53 for DNS.

In DNS, I have created A record with EC2 IP.

In apache2 set up VirtualHost for www.example.com, Reloaded apache2 server, and also enable site www.example.com.

Now, I have purchased a certificate from the AWS certificate manager for www.example.com. I have added the CNAME record in Route53 and also validated the domain. The certificate was also activated.

Now, I am going to hit the site www.example.com, It's redirecting to https://www.example.com but the page is giving an error regarding HTTPS.

I have also opened 443 port for that instance.

I think you forget to add a Load Balancer (ALB) or a CloudFront Distribution in front of your EC2 instance since Certificates produced with ACM must be configured on these kind of components. Not possible with EC2. And it can not suggest where to use it.
