SSL works only in top pages in Admin

I have enabled the SSL in my store by updating the admin and main config files to 'true'. I also enabled catalog SSL. When I log into the admin section I log into a secure site:

https://www.xxxxxxx.com/store/xxxadmin/modules.php?set=payment

But when I go to subsequent pages, for example installing the Linkpoint API, it drops the security:

http://www.xxxxxxx.com/store/xxxadmin/modules.php?set=payment&module=linkpoint_api

I have cleared cookies and cache for the past 2 days, and tried in Chrome and Firefox.

Any suggestions?

Urgent...I cannot set up the Linkpoint api without the ssl working on that page!

When I set it up like this:

**

• 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://www.xxxxxxxxx.com');
  define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://www.xxxxxxxxx.com');
  define('HTTP_CATALOG_SERVER', 'http://www.xxxxxxxxx.com');
  define('HTTPS_CATALOG_SERVER', 'https://www.xxxxxxxxx.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', 'false');

I get into an endless loop that makes it so I cannot log in. I keep entering my login and it takes me back to the login page. Removing the https from the HTTP_SERVER fixes that.

What happens if you set ```
define('ENABLE_SSL_CATALOG', 'false');

You could probably set define('ENABLE_SSL_ADMIN', 'true'); to 'false' instead, and that would stop the need for any redirects.
But, if merely using SSL is causing redirects, then it's quite possible something is misconfigured in your server's apache vhost where SSL settings are set.

The problem was not the store, but the server. The main information section of the server said I had the latest version of PHP istalled. But, upon further scrutiny, I found by looking at the server information it was 5.2. When I called the host company they balked at first, but eventually admitted their mistake, updated the PHP and the site works fine.

Thank you for your assistance.
