Cannot access subdomain sites via https

  • I’ve been running a multisite install with subdomains for years. Recently attempted to finally make the switch to SSL. I have my main site fairly operational (still working on a mixed content error) using the Bluehost SSL certificate.

    For my subdomain sites, I’ve updated them to https://subdomain.example.com manually and via search/replace plugins to ensure I’ve got all the changes, but if I try to access them, I get an error that index.php can’t be located.

    What am I missing?

    Within Bluehost, a wildcard domain is setup, not the individual sites – which has worked to date…

  • For the wildcard to work across your subdomains, you’ll need to have the SSL installed for the domain itself, and that all the repositories for the individual subdomains falling inside public_html of the primary domain files.
    e.g.
    domain.com [public_html]
    sub1.domain.com [public_html/sub1]
    sub2.domain.com [public_html/sub2]

    Hope this helps – have you tried contacting Bluehost support? Are you using a specific Multisite plugin? They might also be able to help.
