ssl problem- admin login after every click

[Jeff Conway]

I have been upgrading from 1.3.8 to 1.5.1. This happened after setting up my shared SSL (i am soon moving to private ssl) , After logging in my admin, any click I make within, I get the login page again. after re-entering username and password,it takes me to the place I need to be. I guess I could live with it, but it's a little tedious. Admin and store seem to be working fine. below is the admin/configure.php


Thanks for any help


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', 'http://cstrucktops.com');
define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://secure.bluehost.com/~myaccount');
define('HTTP_CATALOG_SERVER', 'http://cstrucktops.com');
define('HTTPS_CATALOG_SERVER', 'https://secure.bluehost.com/~myaccount');

// 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', '/cs_truck_tops/myadmin/');
define('DIR_WS_CATALOG', '/cs_truck_tops/');
define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_ADMIN', '/cs_truck_tops/myadmin/');
define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG', '/cs_truck_tops/');

What happens if you make the following change in your admin's /includes/configure.php file?

define('HTTP_SERVER', 'https://secure.bluehost.com/~myaccount');

Thanks. I applied 'https://secure.bluehost.com/~myaccount' to all 4 lines and it seems to work.

You really want to leave your non-SSL store link alone:

define('HTTP_SERVER', 'https://secure.bluehost.com/~myaccount');
define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://secure.bluehost.com/~myaccount');
define('HTTP_CATALOG_SERVER', 'http://cstrucktops.com');
define('HTTPS_CATALOG_SERVER', 'https://secure.bluehost.com/~myaccount');

// 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');
