404 Error on Certain Pages Using SSL - ssl

I'm trying to enable ssl on my wordpress site and am running into a bit of difficulty. I've enabled ssl admin through the wordpress ssl plugin (well reviewed) and also required ssl for a couple other pages. The administration panel works well with https as does the homepage and a couple other pages. However on many of them, namely pages that I've dynamically generated with a php plugin that I wrote, I get a 404 error:
Not Found
The requested URL /create/5 was not found on this server.
Apache/2.2.22 (Ubuntu) Server at upsmart.com Port 443
Approaches that havent worked so far include:
I've enabled mod-rewrite on the server, I've tried changing the site url in the dashboard to explicitly be https:// and I've scanned the php for hard-coded instances of http://
Really scratching my head on this one so any ideas would be appreciated.
For reference I'm using Apache on Ubuntu 12.04.
Update!
I checked my Apache error log and came out with the following message:
File does not exist: /home/user/www/create
My reaction upon seeing that is "Well of course it doesn't. If I'm trying to get it to get it to http://example.com/create/ why would it be reading that as ~/www/create?

Please allow me to blush a little; the update I gave to the question above allowed me to take a guess at the issue but I'll put it down in case anyone else runs into the problem.
I found that I had only half-configured the file /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/default-ssl.
The file began as follows:
ServerAdmin webmaster#localhost
DocumentRoot /home/sam/www
<Directory />
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
</Directory>
<Directory /home/sam/www/>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride none
Order allow,deny
allow from all
</Directory>
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /usr/lib/cgi-bin/
<Directory "/usr/lib/cgi-bin">
AllowOverride None
Options +ExecCGI -MultiViews +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
The issue was that the second AllowOverride needed to be changed from none to all. So that it would look like this.
ServerAdmin webmaster#localhost
DocumentRoot /home/sam/www
<Directory />
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
</Directory>
<Directory /home/sam/www/>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride none
Order allow,deny
allow from all
</Directory>
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /usr/lib/cgi-bin/
<Directory "/usr/lib/cgi-bin">
AllowOverride None
Options +ExecCGI -MultiViews +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
Mind you: This must be configured for ssl even if you have configured this for other sites-enabled like 000-default.

There's no difference between the configurations.

500 Internal Server Error when trying to enable use of .htaccess in Apache on Ubuntu

I am trying to get my .htaccess working on my Ubuntu-apache2-webserver.
For that I opened /etc/apache2/apache2.conf,
I removed the comment sign (#) before AccessFileName .htaccess
and replaced AllowOverride None by AllowOverride All in
<Directory /var/www/>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
Require all granted
</Directory>
I activated mod_rewrite via a2enmod rewrite and restarted the server.
But each time I am performing those changes and open an html-file placed inside of /var/www/html, I get a 500 Internal Server Error for Virtual Host 80.
The same thing happened to me when placing
<Directory /var/www/>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
before </VirtualHost> into the 000-default.conf-file instead of the /etc/apache2/apache2.conf.
Can anyone tell me what I am missing?
You're slightly off in your syntax for allowOverride. The Directory tag needs to be inside the VirtualHost tag. Like so:
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot /var/www/html
ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/error.log
Options Includes
<Directory "/var/www/html">
AllowOverride All
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
Also, make sure Apache has permissions to read and write to the directory /var/www/html

Ubuntu 14.04 Apache 2.4.7 404 Not Found

I've been reading the forums and trying to replicate their fixes, but I must be missing something on my end since it will switch from a simple 404 Error Not Found to a 403 Forbidden Error (even after chown and chmod changes).
Currently, I am experiencing the 403 error code even after a sudo apache2ctl restart
Here is what I've done so far.
- gedit apache2.conf with the following
<Directory /path/to/directory/>
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
<Directory /usr/share>
AllowOverride None
Require all granted
</Directory>
<Directory /var/www/>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
Require all denied
</Directory>
gedit sites-available/000-default.conf && sites-enabled/000-default.conf
DocumentRoot /path/to/directory
<Directory />
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
</Directory>
<Directory /path/to/directory>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
Order allow,deny
allow from all
</Directory>
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /usr/lib/cgi-bin/
<Directory "/usr/lib/cgi-bin">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
Any help is much appreciated.
First note that you have now Apache 2.4, not Apache 2.2. The style to declare permissions has changed with Apache 2.4 and you should consistently use the new ones (like require all granted).
Apache has become more strict in what files it allows to be served. Essentially, arrange the files to be served outside in your Document Root and below, and keep all other files out of this tree. Don't link to files outside the Document Root tree.
Some point of your config:
<Directory />
This is the root directory of your file system. If you declare anything for it, it should be require all denied and nothing else. Note that there is a difference between a <Directory /absolute/path/to/some/directory> directive and a <location /relative/path/to some/location/on/your/server> directive.
Configure your server in terms of <location>

Apache: Install Baikal besides Seafile

I need a hint in which direction I should look for an answer on this.
I have set up a Seafile server which is accessible under https://subdomain.no-ip.org, i now want baikal to be accessible under https://subdomain.no-ip.org/baikal
However, I can't get it running because i always get a message from Seafile that this directory does not exist. (I guess seafile thinks it should be a subdirectory)
my recent try to configure apache -
sites-enabled/default-ssl
<VirtualHost *:443>
ServerAdmin webmaster#localhost
Servername gasslnet.no-ip.org
DocumentRoot /var/www
Alias /media /home/andie/seafile-directory/seafile-server-latest/seahub$
<Directory />
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
</Directory>
<Directory /var/www/>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
allow from all
</Directory>
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /usr/lib/cgi-bin/
<Directory "/usr/lib/cgi-bin">
AllowOverride None
Options +ExecCGI -MultiViews +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
<Directory "/var/www/baikal/html">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
allow from all
</Directory>
My Seafile-Settings:
ccnet/ccnet.conf
SERVICE_URL = https://subdomain.no-ip.org
seahub_settings.py
FILE_SERVER_ROOT = 'http://subdomain.no-ip.org/seafhttp'
I think the issue is in the seafile configuration, if seafile would be accessible under url/seafile and not only the url the problem should be solved. I tried changing the SERVICE_URL, but no effect.
Do you have any ideas about this?
You have to set
SITE_ROOT = '/seafile'
in the seahub_settings.py to access Seafile under
http://subdomain.no-ip.org/seafile

Why does Apache serve different directories when accessed from different machines?

I'm trying to configure Apache on OS X 10.8.2 so that the default "system" site is accessible from other machines, while the "user" site is not. In httpd.confI have
DocumentRoot "/Library/WebServer/Documents"
<Directory />
Options -FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
AllowOverride None
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
</Directory>
<Directory "/Library/WebServer/Documents">
Options Indexes -FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
AllowOverride None
Order deny,allow
Allow from all
</Directory>
and in ME.conf I have
<Directory "/Users/ME/Sites">
Options Indexes -FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
AllowOverride None
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
Allow from localhost
</Directory>
This behaves as intended when accessed from the hosting machine: http://localhost/~ME/ maps to /Users/ME/Sites and http://localhost maps to /Library/WebServer/Documents. But when I acces the hostng machine from a different machine, http://hostingmachine doesn't work, and http://hostingmachine/~ME/ maps to /Library/WebServer/Documents. What have I done to deserve that? Is there a way to do what I'm trying to do, or at least something close?

Connecting Apache to Tomcat with AJP

I am trying to launch a localhost application on Ubuntu with Apache and proxy it to Tomcat so that I can use .jsp pages in my application. It seems that this is possible and I think that I am pretty close, but I can't seem to get it quite right. Any help is greatly appreciated! I've never used apache or tomcat before, so please don't hate me if any of this seems stupid.
I've got Apache hosting a site at localhost with this code for the host:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName localhost
ServerAlias test.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/test.com/helloworld
<Directory />
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
</Directory>
<Directory /var/www/>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
allow from all
</Directory>
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /usr/lib/cgi-bin/
<Directory "/usr/lib/cgi-bin">
AllowOverride None
Options +ExecCGI -MultiViews +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
# Possible values include: debug, info, notice, warn, error, crit,
# alert, emerg.
LogLevel warn
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
Alias /doc/ "/usr/share/doc/"
<Directory "/usr/share/doc/">
Options Indexes MultiViews FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
Allow from 127.0.0.0/255.0.0.0 ::1/128
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
This allows me to successfully navigate to my page hello.html by typing localhost/hello.html in the URL. I have read that from this point, I need to insert some code such as:
ProxyRequests Off
ProxyPreserveHost On
<Proxy *>
Order deny,allow
Allow from all
</Proxy>
ProxyPass /(appname) ajp://localhost:8009/(appname)
ProxyPassReverse /(appname) ajp://localhost:8009/(appname)
and then Tomcat should get the requests. In this case, what would the appname be? My page is located at /var/www/test.com/helloworld/hello.html, so I thought it would be "helloworld", but that does not work. When I leave the appname blank, I see the Tomcat "Congratulations, you've successfully installed Tomcat." when I navigate to localhost, but cannot find my page.
Please help. This is slowly becoming a nightmare. Thanks!
I figured it out. This is super dumb, but I was trying to load the application from /var/www rather than housing it within the tomcat directories. /facepalm
The proxy code I posted in the original question is the only code needed in the virtualhost. Thanks everyone.
