Https working after moving multisite to new server, http not

    I’ve just moved MyWriting.Network to a new server this evening, and as the title indicates, the https:// URLs of each subsite are working, but if you enter the URL without https, you get a 404 error. Example: test100.mywriting.network versus https://test100.mywriting.network

    Note: I did NOT change the domain of the network when moving. Same domain, new server.

    The network was functioning without issues before the server move. The main site is working normally now, after the move. The subsites look normal when using https.

    I’m running the main site through Cloudflare, as I was before the server move, and have tried installing and network-activating the Cloudflare plugin, as well as the Flexible SSL plugin which I thought I would try too. Cloudflare is currently in development mode. There is a wildcard cert installed on the server, as well as one for the main site.

    I’m stumped.

    I’ve reset the IP back to the old server for the night, so everything is working normally at the moment. I hope to approach this again tomorrow, so if anyone has any insight, I’d be grateful.

    I’ve change the IP back again to the new server, and the problem is visible once again. If anyone is available to take a look I’d appreciate it.

    This issue was resolved by adding the following code to the htaccess file:

    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
    RewriteRule ^/?(.*) https://%{SERVER_NAME}/$1 [R=301,NC,L]
