# Page not found in https

 * Without WordPress, pages are accessible either as http or https. Within WordPress,
   the website.org.conf has AllowOverride All, and an .htaccess in the www folder
   that works and is updated by Permalinks as changes are made. With plain links,
   both http and https work. With any other Permalink, https results in 404 Not 
   Found for pages except the index/front page.
 * Obviously this is a problem in the way index.php is receiving or handling the
   links. If your suggestion is in the first 25 pages of Google, it has already 
   been tried. Any suggestion on how to troubleshoot this?

 * My guess is a faulty server configuration. Is really an Apache in use, which 
   would also consider a .htaccess file, or is it a nginx server?

 * Apache2. “the website.org.conf has AllowOverride All, and an .htaccess in the
   www folder that works and is updated by Permalinks as changes are made.”

 * What does the .htaccess look like?
 * Can you write a typo in the .htaccess file as a test? Just put an “aaaa” in any
   line. If you get an error after that, it means that the webserver service is 
   taking the file into account. If there is no error, then it will be ignored.
