Can't access WordPress Admin Login With HTTPS Enabled

Posted on December 2, 2014

Greetings!

I deployed the WordPress One Click Image. I installed my SSL Certificate and enabled SSL Within Apache2. I also have a rewrite rule to change HTTP to HTTPS and I set my site URL to https within the admin control panel.

However, after doing all of that I am unable to access any of my WordPress Content and I can get to the homepage if I turn off the HTTPS redirect but I’m still unable to get to the admin control panel if I do that.

What can I do regain access to my HTTPS control panel?

This question was answered by @ryanpq:

https runs on port 443 while http is on port 80 by default. With port 443 closed you will definitely not be able to reach your site via https.
