Coldfusion 11 REST Service works with HTTP but not HTTPS (404)

My problem has been resolved. I found two separate solutions, which were based on the response from mt0 and from Adobe's Help (https://helpx.adobe.com/coldfusion/installing/configuring-your-system.html).

Solution #1.

Edit /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

I added the following line to my SSL VirtualHost directive:

<VirtualHost 127.0.0.1:443>    JKMountFile "/path/to/ColdFusion11/config/wsconfig/1/uriworkermap.properties"

However, this would only work if I changed the local IP address (127.0.0.1) to the server's IP address for both the NameVirtualHost and VirtualHost. (using *:443 did not work)

NameVirtualHost SERVER_IP_HERE:443<VirtualHost SERVER_IP_HERE:443>

While this solved the problem, I did not want to hard-code the server's IP address inside the config files. So I continued researching and found this alternate solution:

Solution #2 (preferred).

Edit /etc/httpd/conf.d/ssl.conf (leaving the httpd.conf file in its original state)

I added the following line to my SSL VirtualHost directive, and restarted Apache:

<VirtualHost _default_:443>    JKMountFile "/path/to/ColdFusion11/config/wsconfig/1/uriworkermap.properties" 

This solved my problem.

Thank you everyone for your assistance!

Your virtual host does not know anything about ColdFusion. If you look in the /etc/httpd/conf/mod_jk.conf file, it will have a line that looks like:

JKMountFile "/path/to/ColdFusion11/config/wsconfig/1/uriworkermap.properties"

Which is being called for the HTTP service (via the Include "/etc/httpd/conf/mod_jk.conf" of the config file) but not for the HTTPS service.

All you need to do is copy this line into your httpd.conf file within the Virtual Host declaration; like this:

<VirtualHost 127.0.0.1:443>  ServerName localhost  DocumentRoot /web/webapps/  SSLEngine on  SSLCertificateFile /etc/pki/tls/certs/localhost.crt  SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/pki/tls/private/localhost.key  SSLProtocol +SSLv3 +TLSv1  SSLCipherSuite RSA:!EXP:!NULL:+HIGH:-MEDIUM:-LOW  ErrorLog logs/cfadmin.ssl.error.log  CustomLog logs/cfadmin.ssl.access.log common  JKMountFile "/path/to/ColdFusion11/config/wsconfig/1/uriworkermap.properties"</VirtualHost>

Then the virtual host will know where to find the services.
