    SSL Certificate Installation Issue

    Hi, hope you can help.
    I had the server I host with install the SSL Certificate.
    Then I read to login to my settings/options and change the Forum URL to https instead of http.
    Then I cleared the cache but when I go to the site it says: Not Found

    The requested URL /forum.php was not found on this server.
    Apache Server at www.drwest.ca Port 443

    I switched back to http until I can figure out the issue.
    Hope you can help
    warmly
    Melissa

          Yes this is the guide that I used and I followed the steps for Version 4 exactly.
          Even doing the last step:
          Once you have changed these settings, go to AdminCP > Maintenance > General Update Tools, and rebuild the styles. (In vB3 this is AdminCP > Maintenance > Update Counters). Leave the default settings and just run this update tool.
          Which took about a second to run
          But it didn't work unfortunately.

              If the site is returning a 404 then you will need to speak to your host. The server is incorrectly configured.

                  Did your hosting install SSL certs from Cloudflare, OpenSSL or Lets encrypt? If you did that then you apply these steps for your forum https://www.vbulletin.com/forum/arti...forum-to-https

                  Installing SSL also depends on your hosting control panel. What is your hosting panel that you are using?

                      Thanks for your help Matt. I'll put in a trouble ticket with the server people and see what they say. I believe I'm using Parallels Power Panel for the VPS...is that what you mean?
                      thanks Melissa
