SOLVED – I found the problem. I had recently added some regular (non-WP) HTML domains/websites to my bitnami WP server under the same IP address by using bitnami’s extra vhosts system within apache. For a couple of weeks I mistakenly thought it was all working perfectly until I found this “http:” “Not Found” problem. When I tried undoing the additional vhosts – my main WP site started working correctly again and the problem/conflict was completely gone. Sorry for the bother and thanks for all your help.

@rogierlankhorst Just wondering if there’s anything else I can do to eliminate my “https://korabc.com ” Not Found error?

Hi Rogier,

Thanks very much again for your reply.

Sorry, I don’t know where to look to check if there’s “no symlink in the https folder to the http folder” – if you could help me with some direction that would be much appreciated ??

Here’s the .htaccess file contents:

#Begin Really Simple Security
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]
</IfModule>

#End Really Simple Security
# BEGIN WordPress
# The directives (lines) between "BEGIN WordPress" and "END WordPress" are
# dynamically generated, and should only be modified via WordPress filters.
# Any changes to the directives between these markers will be overwritten.
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule .* - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization}]
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

When you say “clear the .httaccess file” – do I just delete the contents leaving an empty file – or delete the actual file?

Again, thanks very much for your help.

One thing I just tried was in the apache/conf/httpd.conf file
I changed “ServerName www .korabc.com:80 “
to just “ServerName korabc.com:80 “
and restarted apache (since I have a * wildcard in the DNS record).

I think “korabc.com” on it’s own now goes to https:// as far as I can tell.
I don’t think anyone would actually type “https://korabc.com ” into a browser but it would still be great to fix the “Not Found” error if possible.

Much thanks!

Hi Leon,

Sure…
korabc.com – Not Found
https://korabc.com – Not Found
https://korabc.com – loads – no problem.

Thanks! I really appreciate the help.

Thanks Rogier,

I previously set .htaccess redirect and also tried PHP redirect but that didn’t fix it. Also, I tried setting the mixed content fixers on/off but that made no difference.

Is there anything else I can try?
Thanks again!

Thanks very much Rogier,

I tried:

certbot --apache -d website02.com -d www.website02.com

but I got an error because it’s a non-standard “bitnami” WP installation and it couldn’t find the apache files. I really didn’t want to mess with paths, etc. so I’ve abandoned that idea for now.

But then I noticed an SSL issue with my WP website that I did not notice before: It’s not redirecting https:// links to https://

It gives this browser error:

“Not Found – The requested URL was not found on this server.”

I fixed quickly it by manually replacing all https:// links with https://
but one small problem remains:

If I type the main domain name into the browser “https://website01.com ” (without “https:// “) it gives a “Not Found” error.
But if I just type “website01.com” (without typing “https:// “) it redirects to https://website01.com – and it works fine.

Please can you tell me how to force “https://website01.com ” to redirect to https://website01.com ?

Does Really Simple SSL handle that?

Thanks very much again!
