    Sounds like it may have been moved from a Plesk server to a
non-Plesk server (or something using a similar path setup).  If it's
still Apache-based, yes, an .htaccess mod_rewrite directive should
suffice.  And, while it's out-of-scope for this list, an example, for
posterity:

    # .htaccess - placed in the web root
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [QSA,R,L]
