unable to get depolyed app with apache to wrok

Issue summary

Hello, my app works fine in dev environment, I deployed it to my custom vps with apache server. the react front works fine but the backend api calls won't work

Expected behavior

the api calls should work

Actual behavior

the api calls won't work
I get this error : net::ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS
https://xxxxxxx.com/api/products/count/index.html/index.html/index.html/index.html/index.html/index.html/index.html/index.html/index.html/index.html/index.html/index.html/index.html/index.html/index.html/index.html/index.html/index.html/index.html/

Steps to reproduce the problem

npm init @shopify/app@latest -- --template php
cd web
composer install
cp .env.example .env
touch storage/db.sqlite
php artisan migrate
php artisan key:generate
cd ..
npm run build --api-key=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
copy the the app folder to web server
configure apache :
DocumentRoot /var/www//web/public
ErrorLog ...
CustomLog ..
<Directory "/var/www/">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Require all granted

restart apache
test app

Reduced test case

Checklist

Start by reproducing the deployment from the listed PHP setup commands and Apache configuration, then inspect how the DocumentRoot, AllowOverride setting, and /api/products/count request produce the repeated index.html redirects. Done means the deployed React frontend can make backend API calls without ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS.
