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

how about :

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.

it doesnt matter. this happens if we use https (forced or not)

I think I just had the same (or at least a similar) problem but managed to fix it!

Details of my problem and what I did to fix it are here:

Hope it helps

its because you dont have www or non www consistant more than likely

its not that.. its a server side problem... thanks for the input guys
