Summary: I just installed SSL on my DigitalOcean droplet, but when I try to view my pages over SSL, it returns a 404 error page. Viewing over normal http works just fine though. Any advice? php wordpress security ssl multisite edited Nov 12, 2014 at 3:42 Marc Woodyard asked Nov 11, 2014 at 15:53 Marc WoodyardMarc Woodyard7388 bronze badges 2 Are you sure you configured the SSL cert properly?–rnevius Nov 11, 2014 at 15:56 Yeah. I followed the instructions exactly as they were written. My login page and admin dashboard all work fine over SSL, including my homepage. But any other page returns a 404 error.–Marc Woodyard Nov 11, 2014 at 18:51 Add a comment | 2 Answers Sorted by: Reset to default I finally fixed it after, what felt like a lifetime of editing virtual host files.DocumentRoot /Directory/of/Website/ Options FollowSymLinks AllowOverride All Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews AllowOverride All Order allow,deny allow from allChange "none" in the "AllowOverride" lines to "all" in the Virtual Host config for port 443.
