Thanks for your response. The admin/includes/config.php file is below with actual settings removed. I let the hosting company do the actual install so that all the paths and such would be correct.
I have tried, in the config files, "https:'' and "http:'' and for good measure, no "http" at all, just the domain, which results in a 404. Again, catalog side working fine, just the admin fails. And... it does work on the login page itself, and on the admin/index.php page. But when I navigate away from that page, I am presented with "photomprints.com/admin/anypage". It loses the "http" altogether, much less the "https". My host said that does not matter.
