Vhost SSL setting gave 403 error, http works

Setting SSL using bitnami wordpress with jbrowse as subdomain

1. JBrowse-1.16.11
2. Ubuntu
3. google chrome and firefox

I configured SSL that works with wordpress site and phmyadmin subdomain BUT failed for jbrowse subdomain. The subdmain configured properly for both phpmyadmin and jbrowse the same way. I used similar htaccess.conf file and httpd-vhosts.conf. I changed the entire jbrowse dir to 777 and setup the owner to proper user 'daemon` incase it was a permission issue. For some reason the http link works (http://jb2.test.org), but I got 403 error when I changed to (https://jb2.test.org). I used the same ssl key, cert and chain for the main site, phpmyadmin and jbrowse subdomains. I don't know what went wrong, any idea?

htaccess.conf for jbrowse

JBrowse technically has no server side code, and I can't necessarily speak to the details of apache server setup...certainly jbrowse doesn't require mod_rewrite. You might be able to look in your system logs for httpd related errors that might help explain the reason for the 403

may close for now..let us know if anything else comes up though
