"The three chief virtues of a programmer are: Laziness, Impatience and Hubris." - Larry Wall

Laziness: I'm too lazy to do the same task repeatedly so write scripts to do that task for me. This makes people think I am intelligent.

Impatience: I'm too impatient to wait for my code to run so rewrite the code to improve performance. This makes people think I am a good programmer.

Hubris: When someone asks if I can do something I just say Yes, then go find out how to do it (Google!). This makes people think I can do anything.

Ultimately, it means I can make a career out of being Lazy, Impatient, and Hubristic(?).

comment How can I set the default page for an https request?
Thank you, the issue was with an unrelated website hosted on a different IP address on the same machine which is rewriting URLs that didn't have a default page specified to add index.php to it. I would have never found this without the IIS error logs.

@toomanyairmiles I think I found it, thank you. The issue is with an unrelated website hosted on a different IP address on the same machine which is rewriting the URL to add the index.php. If you post that link as an answer, along with a brief description on how to debug IIS errors, I'll accept your answer :)

@toomanyairmiles There is something, but I'm not very good at reading IIS logs. It lists 4 files: default.aspx:80 - status 200, css style sheet over port 80 - status 304, index.php/myvirtualdirectory:443 - 404 0 3, and favicon.ico:443 - 404 0 2. The top default page listed is default.aspx, so I'm not sure why it's looking for index.php...

This is already setup on both the main site, and the virtual directory.

@toomanyairmiles Thanks, however although Scott's answer addresses the problem, the final resolution is "I can't guess what would cause this". It does provide some debugging steps, but those aren't helping me

comment How can I set the default page for an https request?
@toomanyairmiles I am not sure how those links are supposed to help. I have SSL setup correctly, and it works - IF I use the full path name of the page I am trying to reach. I want to know how to make https://mydomain.com/mysecurevirtualdirectory display the Default.aspx page for the virtual directory instead of a 404 Not Found error.

Attempted to clarify what I am asking for, and bumping the question since only answer so far doesn't answer question

comment How can I set the default page for an https request?
It is enabled.... I want to know how to set the default page for it though because right now I have to manually type in the page name to access it. For example, https://www.mydomain.com returns a Page Not Found, however https://www.mydomain.com/default.aspx will load correctly
