I have got a SSL certificate installed on my Joomla site, but when I choose the option in the global configuration 'Force SSL Administrator Only', I then can't login to the backend, it just loops. I am running 1.5.15, is there a fix for this?

Hi i have the same problem. I created a free SSL cert in my hosts cpanel and set force ssl admin in the joomla configuration. When i try to open with chrom it just tries to open forever (but doesnt succeed) and IE 8 just shows The webpage cannot be found. How do i get it to work?

@TIMMY: if you cant access backend just edit var $force_ssl = '1'; to 0 in configuration.php

https://www.yourtsite.com/administrator ?

you dont have to force anything...

just https instead of http...

Thanks for the reply, the login loop happens when using https.
