Failure to find permalink that has secure flag

So does https://mysite.com work?

Yes, https://mysite.com does work. If you are the developer and are interested in passswords to debug the issue, I’ll be happy to give them to you.

And what if you go to https://mysite.com/test1 without the plugin enabled?

Same result. I double verified that the ssl is serving on the 443 port. The timeout code always happens 5 seconds later after the file not found error.

Actually I suppose this means there isn’t a problem with the plugin, but other pages worked.. grumble grumble.. maybe I’ll be able to figure it out soon or look at other plugins as the source of the problem.

Meh, previous post is too old to fix now, but the file is served without https so it doesn’t appear to be a problem with my webserver. my problem is just not knowing php or wordpress well enough to know where the hook is on the url to see why it is failing to serve teh page under https. Guess I will try the 3.2.3 plugin and if it fixes things I’ll report as such.

If the file isn’t being served over HTTPS, the problem is your web server or network. If it’s saying that “/test1” doesn’t exist in your server logs, it’s not even making it to WordPress.

I just created a file.php and accessed it via https just fine. I just can not find any evidence that my web-server is broken. So if i create test1.php it would work, but i use a permalink on a wordpress page and get “file not found” in my apache logs.

… and i chose wordpress because it seems simple with no frills… ??

Now I have to learn low level wordpress code to try to track this down. Any pointers of what file/hook/function in the https plugin I should start with in order to debug this ?

The problem ended up being that AllowOverrides was set to None under the https configuration. I assume this prevented the .htaccess file from being read. Because there was no .htaccess read, there were no mod_rewrite rules. So under http everything is rewritten to index.php, but https never had these rules in place so the ‘file not found’ messages in error.log. Thanks for your early support mvied. Unfortunately I started out on the wrong end trying to track this down.
