http working but https returns 404

Posted on October 4, 2021

I followed the digitalocean tutorial (https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-secure-apache-with-let-s-encrypt-on-ubuntu-20-04) to activate the SSL certificate but I have the following problem: with http the site works perfectly, with https it returns 404.

Apparently everything is ok: https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/analyze.html?d=mal.uy

Hi @holamaluy,

I can see the website is working properly now. Can you let us know what was the issue and how you fixed it? I’m asking just in case someone else stumbles on the question and finds it helpful.

My suggestion, in this case, would’ve been to check the Apache/Nginx configuration file to see if you’ve added your website to listen on port 443 as well as port 80. Is that correct?

Regards, KFSys
