    I have problem getting it to work:

    I installed a wildcard SSL on a domain. However, HTTP and HTTPS URLs don't seem to point to the same folder on the server:

    For example, if I go to

    http://www.example.com //shows correct page
    http://www.example.com/home.html //shows correct page

    https://www.example.com //It works.!
    https://www.example.com/home.html //got the following

    PHP:
    The server can not find the requested page:

            popkiller.us/k (port 443) 

    Please forward this error screen to popkiller.us's WebMaster.
    Apache/1.3.41 Server at popkiller.us Port 443
    Apparently HTTP and HTTPS requests do not result in the same directory on the server. What should I do to solve this problem?

    That's a tough one to troubleshoot theoretically as if the domain works on SSL and non-SSL, files inside the domain should as well. I'd recommend submitting a support request (see my signature for the link) so one of our analysts can check your /usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf configuration.

    /usr/local/apache/logs/error_log may have some useful information related to the error.

    Hi, I've got the exact same problem. I noticed that the DocumentRoot in httpd.conf for <VirtualHost x.x.x.x:443> points to /usr/local/apache/htdocs - showing the "You got cpanel working!"-default page as soon as i try to switch to https:// on any site.

    I'm using a wildcard certificate, too. Is there anything you could recommend trying out to get http://mydomain.com to work like https://mydomain.com ?

    Thanks,

    Oliver
