Switched from http to https issue logging in

Today my provider switched from HTTP to HTTPS and now I cannot login into admin.
Please Advise what to do or where to go to switch coding or file?
I have an older version of Zen Cart (I think V155)and I do not have wp_config if that helps.
Thank you

Re: Switched from http to https issue logging in

And your provider can do that? :blink:
Anyway, have you check your configure.php file ?

My provider did that based on request to do SSL certificate and they changed to HTTPS.
I am not biggest encoder so I did not know this will affect the web that much

Re: Switched from http to https issue logging in

You may find that your provider (sic) also set the SSL and a redirect to either www or non-www and you are trying to reach the admin.

If you were using www.mySite.com/myAdmin to get to the admin, try accessing it with mySite.com/myAdmin.

If you were using mySite.com/myAdmin to get to the admin, try accessing it with www.mySite.com/myAdmin.

If the smoke clears, you need to make sure that the SSL points to one URL. Pointing to both www and non-www can lead to duplication punishment.

Once the SSL covers one (we prefer non-www), then the configure.php files should mirror the www status. AND, any redirects should point to the correct www status.

As dbltoe and I have in the past also double teamed those having a similar issue, I also add to his comment/direction to ensure that all things related to this FAQ are complete. Mesnitu was helping down that line: https://www.zen-cart.com/content.php?56
