I have a cakephp 3.5.x application running and online.

Accessing the page with http ://www.xy.de/users/login everything works fine.

Accessing the page with https ://www.xy.de/users/login I get following error:

The requested address '/webroot/users/login' was not found on this server.

How can I configure the application so that https will work?

I tried a lot with changing the .htaccess files but until now nothing worked.

My current .htaccess files look like this:

.htaccess

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine on
    RewriteRule    ^$    webroot/    [L]
    RewriteRule    (.*) webroot/$1    [L]
</IfModule>

webroot/.htaccess

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteRule ^ index.php [L]
</IfModule>

In cakephp logs I get following error:

Error: [Cake\Routing\Exception\MissingControllerException] Controller class Webroot could not be found.
    Request URL: /webroot/users/login

The application is hosted on strato.de so I have no fully control about the server settings.

I also contacted the helpline of strato and got the answer that my goal was technical too challenging for them.

All other pages in same web space which are not using cakephp work fine with https.

Try removing the rewrite for webroot since you’re already inside the webroot when you serve the page.
So CakePHP thinks you are looking for webroot/webroot/users/login.
