Title: Subdirectory Multisite using NginX: https only? Last modified: February 12, 2018 --- # Subdirectory Multisite using NginX: https only? * [IanWaring](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ianwaring/) * (@ianwaring) * [8 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/subdirectory-multisite-using-nginx-https-only/) * I’m using the NginX helper plugin, have my core Ubuntu 16.04 [http://www.software-enabled.com](http://www.software-enabled.com) site running fine, but don’t appear to be able to get the NginX rewrite or virtual hosts set up right to show the content of my 7 subdirectory sites in my network. * I have got Lets Encrypt Certs and the https: redirects working for the main site and for the first of my seven subsites (wwww.ianwaring.com), but just get the NginX welcome page for that site – and no content. * Is there a tutorial anywhere that could help me sort it? Heads a jumble and i’m sure it’s because i’m over thinking it! Site was working fine using 12.04 on Apache, albeit without https connects. * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fsubdirectory-multisite-using-nginx-https-only%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US) to see the link]_ Viewing 1 replies (of 1 total) * Thread Starter [IanWaring](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ianwaring/) * (@ianwaring) * [8 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/subdirectory-multisite-using-nginx-https-only/#post-9966137) * sites-available file looks like this: * ``` ## # You should look at the following URL's in order to grasp a solid understanding # of Nginx configuration files in order to fully unleash the power of Nginx. # http://wiki.nginx.org/Pitfalls # http://wiki.nginx.org/QuickStart # http://wiki.nginx.org/Configuration # # Generally, you will want to move this file somewhere, and start with a clean # file but keep this around for reference.
