HTTPS in sub domain redirects to main domain
- by Amitabh
We recently bought a wildcard certificate and installed it for a domain. It works fine for the main domain but seems to not work at all for any sub domains.
Whats happening is we can access the sub domains fine on HTTP, but whenever we try HTTPS for the same sub domain url we are redirected back to the main domain.
So if I put up a test folder "httpstest" in a sub domain with a index.html file in it, the following happens
mysubdomain.mywebsite.com/httpstest/index.html or
mysubdomain.mywebsite.com/httpstest/ works perfectly fine with http:// but
mysubdomain.mywebsite.com/httpstest/ or
mysubdomain.mywebsite.com/httpstest/index.html does not work with https:// and redirects to the main domain.Any help on this is greatly appreciated.
The site is not the main site used for setting up the VPS. It was added from WHM.
Environment: We are on a Linux VPS.

I guess I messed up the formatting big time. Any help on formatting and on the issue is great appreciated. Thank you.
Update: I could not update the formatting here. I posted the same question in a linux forum . I will really appreciate any pointer on it.
