Drupal 8 Behat Apache returns 403

Dear people, since 2 whole days I’m fighting to get my Behat tests running. But Behat doesn’t seem to find my site in the Circle build. All I get are 403’s on my tests. As I now reached my 100th build https://circleci.com/gh/leymannx/drupal-circleci-behat/100 without successfully setting up Behat, please let me ask for the community’s help here.

Did I miss something? Is there a typo?

    - echo "memory_limit = 512M" > /opt/circleci/php/$(phpenv global)/etc/conf.d/memory.ini

    # Restart Apache to pickup new config
    - sudo cp ./circle.conf /etc/apache2/sites-available
