I just went through the tutorial process with[ this tutorial]https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-set-up-let-s-encrypt-certificates-for-multiple-apache-virtual-hosts-on-ubuntu-16-04) to set up an ssl certificate and this tutorial (claimed as a prerequisite for the first). The ssl certificate is working, but I can no longer access my wordpress panel or the site that I’ve been building through my domain. It’s just going to this very limited html file (www.mindingmypeas.com)
When I try to access the wordpress admin panel (mindingmypeas.com/wp-admin) it gives me this error message:
**Not Found
The requested URL /wp-admin/ was not found on this server.
Apache/2.4.18 (Ubuntu) Server at www.mindingmypeas.com Port 443**
This is my very first time setting up anything like this, so it is entirely possible that I just massively screwed it up. I’ve been looking through the tutorials and don’t see any addressing anything remotely like this. Thanks for any help!

Your DocumentRoot in your Apache configuration of the HTTPS VirtualHost, is probably pointing to a different location than the HTTP VirtualHost was.
Can you post your Apache configuration? It’s located in /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/.

Is this what you’re talking about @hansen?
@hansen okay, I found that part.
