Unable to Connect: Firefox can't establish a connection to the server
-
My website profroofs.com is hosted on Amazon WebServices. I watched a youtube video about activating it on CloudFront and adding an SSL certificate. I did all of that about an hour ago. The video mentioned it takes a couple minutes for it to become active. When I activated this plugin it locked me out because I used it on Admin also. I reset the plugin as per mentioned in the FAQs. I now went back and decided to experiment with just one page (https://profroofs.com/donate/). When I try to access the page as https it says:
Unable to connect
Firefox can’t establish a connection to the server at profroofs.com.
When I make it back to http it works fine. I went in CloudFront and it mentioned the port number is 443 for HTTPS and I even added that into the settings in the plugin, but it’s still not working.
Any suggestions? Thank you.

I am having a similar problem. I was attempting to setup the HTTPS for our webstore and as I was working on it I walked away for a bit, came back and I am locked out. Says unable to connect. Now when I go to my site it shows the HTTPS, but I have not set that up completely yet so I think this is the mess.
Is there anyway to change this now that I am locked out of my test site?
If you go to test.natoffice.com you will see this.
Normally that unable to connect message means your SSL certificate is not installed properly.
Have just converted a few sites to HTTPS, so have had to work through these issues myself recently.
My suggestion @mandielee is that if you need to turn off the WordPress HTTPS plugin, is to remove it via FTP.
Let me know if that helps.
