Not able to access SharePoint portal after applying SSL - Sharepoint

One reason for default.aspx working but without it not working is that
you have not setup Alternate Access Mappings (AAM)

(Central Admin / Operations and the link is on the top right)

In this case you probably need to set default to http://servername and
Internet to https://sharepoint.abc.com

The httpS might have something to do with your problems so if the above
doesn't work, try reading the paper on AAM here

when you initially created the web app did you specify 443 as the port?
