IIS7 http working but https not

Hello,  

I've got a client with a windows server running SBS 2008.  We setup exchange for them and everything was working great.  I have remote access only, and was able to use OWA to test send/receive on all accounts.  another tech was onsite and setup their outlook on the workstations to connect to the server. about a week later they requested we set it up so they can access their email via mobile devices.  When I began the process I learned that in that time the server has stopped serving pages with "https"

http://localhost = iis7 default page
http://companyweb/ = <authentication prompt>

https://localhost = "Internet explorer cannot display the webpage"
https://localhost:987/   (sharepoint)  = "Internet explorer cannot display the webpage"

http://sites/exchange  = 403.4 error (forbidden, use https for ssl)

i checked what was listening on port 443, 80 and 987

cmd> netstat -o -n -a | findstr 0.0:<port>

  TCP    0.0.0.0:443            0.0.0.0:0              LISTENING       4
TCP    0.0.0.0:80            0.0.0.0:0              LISTENING       4
TCP    0.0.0.0:987            0.0.0.0:0              LISTENING       4

PID 4  is the system process id


i rebooted server - no change
i restarted world wide web publishing service - no change
stopped sharepoint services - no change


I'm not sure what to check/try next.  why isn't is responding to requests via https but http works fine?

Thanks for the fast response sirakov!

I had confirmed that there was a valid certificate and that the site had a https binding, but i never confirmed that the binding had the certificate selected.  Added the certificate to the binding, and viola!

thanks again!
You are welcome! Glad it helped.
