 * 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](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.
