    I’ve got WordPress Multisite up and running. Also ordered a Wildcard SSL. That works fine on the main site https://www.[domain].com/ but not on https://testsite.[domain].com/ Access without SSL to http://testsite.[domain].com/ also works.

    https://testsite.[domain].com/ results in this error:

    Internal Server Error

    The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

    Please contact the server administrator, webmaster@[domain].com and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.

    More information about this error may be available in the server error log.

    Additionally, a 500 Internal Server Error error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

    What goes wrong here?

    Thanks!

    Does http://testsite.domain.com work?

    This SOUNDS like a server error to be honest.

    Yes, straight HTTP works fine. Only access through SSL (HTTPS) results in an error.

    Siteground has it working now with symlinks. Despite having set up wildcard DNS and wildcard SSL, I have to manually create a symlink for each new site in order to get SSL access to work.

    Such a pain. This solution can’t be right. Is there a better way to solve this?

    You may need a plugin like http://wordpress.org/plugins/wordpress-https/ but honestly it IS a mess, and in part it’s because WP really only knows one URL for itself.

    We are running WP multisite subdomain with over 200 sites. All of our sites are accessible via http and https. https is required for wp-admin access. We only have one configuration in our httpd conf for all our sites; and we do not have to do any extra step (like sym links).

    Our httpd.conf looks like this for ssl setup:

    <VirtualHost *:443>
ServerName host.domain.com
DocumentRoot "/path_to/wordpress"

SSLCertificateFile /path_to/wildcard.domain.com.cert
SSLCertificateKeyFile /path_to/wildcard.domain.com.key
</VirtualHost>

    And we are not using any plugin for https support.
