Admin jumps from https to http

[sarahk]

I'm guessing I've installed something wrong but when I'm in the admin section it jumps from https back to the http version.

I've reviewed both configure files and they seem to be ok.

Any hints on how to put this right?

thanks

Sarah

Are you sure you have "enabled" the SSL (or disabled it, whichever you need) in both the Admin config file and the Catalog config file?

[sarahk]

define('ENABLE_SSL', 'true');

// Use secure webserver for catalog module and/or admin areas?
define('ENABLE_SSL_CATALOG', 'true');
define('ENABLE_SSL_ADMIN', 'true');

In this hosting instance the public and secure folders are separate so I've uploaded all the code twice and have the same config files in the "admin/includes" and "includes" pair of folders.

In the Admins section, the SSL ONLY works during the login procedure, by default.

At the present time, if you want your entire admin area to operate in SSL, simply use your correct https: address instead of the http: address in your admin configure.php file.

OK, thanks for that. I've also checked the code in boxes and seen that it is coded that way.

The host was meant to have turned off the "open_basedir restriction in effect." settings given that we are using their recommended cart option. It's ok on the https and I was hoping to get some setup done while that is being ok'd.

thanks
