Hi I have installed new server with Ubuntu 16.04 Installed SSL Enabled rewrite mode
If I enter link as http://exemple.com/contact the page will work fine If I enter same link or redirect to https:// the page gives me 404 error
How to fix this error, looks like redirection only works on http links because if I disable SSL my site works great.
This is the way my sites available conf file looks like:
<VirtualHost *:80> <Directory /var/www/exemple.com> Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews AllowOverride All Order allow,deny allow from all </Directory> DocumentRoot /var/www/exemple.com ServerName www.exemple.com ServerAlias exemple.com </VirtualHost>
<IfModule mod_ssl.c> <VirtualHost *:443>
ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
ServerName exemple.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/exemple.com
# SSL Engine Switch:
# Enable/Disable SSL for this virtual host.
SSLEngine on
# A self-signed (snakeoil) certificate can be created by installing
# the ssl-cert package. See
# /usr/share/doc/apache2.2-common/README.Debian.gz for more info.
# If both key and certificate are stored in the same file, only the
# SSLCertificateFile directive is needed.
SSLCertificateFile /etc/apache2/ssl/ftaelectronics.com/XXXXXXXXXXXcrt
SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/apache2/ssl/ftaelectronics.com/XXXXXXX.key
SSLCertificateChainFile /etc/apache2/ssl/ftaelectronics.com/XXXXXX.crt
</VirtualHost>
</IfModule>

Try adding
<Directory>directive to your SSL virtual host.The same one you used for HTTP will do the job:
So your config will look like:
Save file, exit editor and make sure you restart Apache:
Try again and hope for best. :)
in my case, I had to remove this entire block of code from my apache conf file
