# [Plugin: WordPress HTTPS] SSL breaks nice permalinks

 * I’m developing a site on my local system using MAMP and a self-signed SSL certificate
   mapped to my test domain. HTTPS requests work fine on the home page, but all 
   links lead to a 404 page (default apache 404, not WordPress 404).
 * When change permalinks back to the WP default (?p=123 style) everything works
   great. Do I need to manually change my .htaccess file to support permalinks w/
   SSL?
 * I was hoping WordPress HTTPS might be able to help with this problem, but so 
   far no luck.

 * For future reference, this seems to be an issue with MAMP. More info here:

 * Solution: Test SSL on another apache installation.

 * Ah, I see. Well, at least you found an answer. I was going to suggest that it
   was a server configuration issue, because that’s pretty much the only thing that
   would cause something like that. When you start getting unexpected Apache errors,
   the configuration is usually to blame.
 * Thanks,
