Hmm, I've got two other 1and1 sites that use a dedicated SSL certificate (store-side and admin) with no issues. Have you changed any of the Configuration->Session values from their defaults? If you could post the contents of the top portion of your admin's configure.php there might be something that "stands out". Here's what one of mine looks like:
Code:
/**
* WE RECOMMEND THAT YOU USE SSL PROTECTION FOR YOUR ENTIRE ADMIN:
* To do that, make sure you use a "https:" URL for BOTH the HTTP_SERVER and HTTPS_SERVER entries:
*/
define('HTTP_SERVER', 'https://mysite.com');
define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://mysite.com');
define('HTTP_CATALOG_SERVER', 'http://mysite.com');
define('HTTPS_CATALOG_SERVER', 'https://mysite.com');
// secure webserver for admin? Valid choices are 'true' or 'false' (including quotes).
define('ENABLE_SSL_ADMIN', 'true');
// secure webserver for storefront? Valid choices are 'true' or 'false' (including quotes).
define('ENABLE_SSL_CATALOG', 'true');
// NOTE: be sure to leave the trailing '/' at the end of these lines if you make changes!
// * DIR_WS_* = Webserver directories (virtual/URL)
// these paths are relative to top of your webspace ... (ie: under the public_html or httpdocs folder)
$t1 = parse_url(HTTP_SERVER);$p1 = $t1['path'];$t2 = parse_url(HTTPS_SERVER);$p2 = $t2['path'];
define('DIR_WS_ADMIN', preg_replace('#^' . str_replace('-', '\-', $p1) . '#', '', dirname($_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'])) . '/');
define('DIR_WS_CATALOG', '/');
define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_ADMIN', preg_replace('#^' . str_replace('-', '\-', $p2) . '#', '', dirname($_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'])) . '/');
define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG', '/');
This site doesn't use the www. prefix, so that prefix value is not present in any of the https:// URLs.
