Help with SSL and Admin Page Not Working

[chuck68tx]

ok i set up 2 test sites, and i get errors on one of them. INFO BELOW


http://chuck68tx.net/zencart/admin this is the link without SSL on and i did not change anything in the files and everything works , main page and admin section........

only thing i added was the cherry_zen template to both


with the site without SSL on i can use all the links in the header and all the pages show.

the site with SSL on the links for My Account and Checkout only bring up blank pages also.



the error below is what comes up when i try to go to my admin with this link:
http://chuck68tx.net/admin , only thing i changed was the info for setting up SSL

i followed the instructions
in the turtorials section on setting up SSL....... the main site for http://chuck68tx.net itself works ......

This is the error i get with the SSL on trying to log into the Admin on http://chuck68tx.net/admin

1. Why do you have spaces inside the ' true' and ' false' values for your SSL settings?

2. Why are your files double-spaced?

3. Since the error message is telling you there's a problem on line 183 of your admin configure.php file, what's on line 183 ?

[chuck68tx]

this is the info where line 183 is: i have tried all 3 methods it says and tried both permission settings and still get the same errors. oh and not sure why there are spaces inside the true and false i fixed that.

What's on lines 175-thru-185 ?
(change your password to xxxxxx when posting, if that's on one of those lines)

[chuck68tx]

Ok i deleted out my server info before i posted this. this is my whole admin/includes/configure.php file. thought it might be easier to post the whole thing . there are no passwords showing i took them out.

[DrByte]

Well, since line 183 is likely the last line of the file, you most likely have extra blank lines or spaces at the end of the file, after the closing ?>

The rest of the PHP syntax looks fine. I'm a little surprised to see that you've chosen to manually edit the dist-configure.php file directly instead of letting the installer build your configure.php files for you. But, naturally, you can use whatever approach you like as long as it works.

I recommend getting rid of the double-spacing in the file though ... that's most likely what's caused you the headache in the first place.

[chuck68tx]

that is the way the lines were after the install, only files i edited were the includes config and the admin/includes config. i will fix the files and try it ...i appreciate your help.
