SSL Cert issue Ubuntu EC2 WordPress site

[ad_1]

Hi all

Im having some issues installing an ssl cert on my wordpress site hosted on a ubuntu ec2 instance

the site works but is not secure until i add the following to my /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/wordpress.conf file

<VirtualHost \*:**443**\>

**SSLEngine on**

**SSLCertificateFile /etc/apache2/certificate/apache-certificate.crt**

**SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/apache2/certificate/apache.key**

<Directory /srv/www/wordpress>

&#x200B;

<VirtualHost *:443>
SSLEngine on
SSLCertificateFile /etc/apache2/certificate/apache-certificate.crt
SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/apache2/certificate/apache.key
<Directory /srv/www/wordpress>
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride Limit Options FileInfo
DirectoryIndex index.php
Require all granted
</Directory>
<Directory /srv/www/wordpress/wp-content>
Options FollowSymLinks
Require all granted
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>

once those changes are made and apache is restarted my ip no longer shows my wordpress site but instead just shows the default apache page.

root@ip-172-31-2-98:/etc/apache2/sites-enabled# sudo a2enmod ssl
Considering dependency setenvif for ssl:
Module setenvif already enabled
Considering dependency mime for ssl:
Module mime already enabled
Considering dependency socache_shmcb for ssl:
Module socache_shmcb already enabled
Module ssl already enabled

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
