Picture of Particularly helpful Moodlers

What is in config.php must match what's in DB for the moodle AND web service (assuming apache) must also respond to https:// (port 443) ... Cert should be a valid cert issued from a 'Certificate Authority' (CA) and not a self-signed cert.

Shared hosting provider cPanel's *might* have an app/icon for setting up Certs (SSL/TLS) for all domains set up by shared hosting package.

Plus, if you have a WordPress - code at web document root - and moodle not by another FQDN but in a /moodle/ directory under WP, WP .htaccess file rules would affect the moodle code as .htaccess rules are hierarchical ... affect all directories under them.

You can discover a lot using local machine and the curl command ... unless you have Windows workstation.   If so, could use terminal on server:

curl -I https://yourmoodleurl

and

curl -I http://yourmoodleurl

Notice the diff?  first one is https second is http.

Sent you a PM with a question ... please respond via PM.
