SSL and Admin Login (config file) - only works with dedicated IP???
Hi,
Having issues with logging into the admin...we have an active SSL certificate (our own, not shared) as well as a dedicated IP address on the domain as well.
Our issue is with logging into the admin - the browser either doesn't connect (really long lag time with IE) or, in the case of Firefox, it runs into a 'Problem Loading Page' error. Here's Firefox's listed error:
=============================================
"The page isn't redirecting properly.
Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete.
* This problem can sometimes be caused by disabling or refusing to accept cookies.
=============================================
Now I have a solution in place for this; however, it's not ideal but would like to know what everyone thinks might be the issue...having difficulties of another nature (different post/thread) which might be of the same issue...
Anyways, here's the configuration file that results in the above error:
// Define the webserver and path parameters
// Main webserver: eg, http://localhost - should not be empty for productive servers
define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://www.screenprintcatalog.com');
// Secure webserver: eg, https://localhost - should not be empty for productive servers
define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://www.screenprintcatalog.com'); // eg, https://localhost
define('HTTP_CATALOG_SERVER', 'http://www.screenprintcatalog.com');
define('HTTPS_CATALOG_SERVER', 'https://www.screenprintcatalog.com');
// secure webserver for catalog module and/or admin areas?
define('ENABLE_SSL_CATALOG', 'false');
define('ENABLE_SSL_ADMIN', '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)
define('DIR_WS_ADMIN', '/test/admin/');
define('DIR_WS_CATALOG', '/test/');
define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_ADMIN', '/test/admin/');
define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG', '/test/');
And here's what seems to be working right now - substituting in the dedicated IP address seems to help the problem with the Admin login page but ends up flipping back to the usual domain if you browse around the admin...
// Define the webserver and path parameters
// Main webserver: eg, http://localhost - should not be empty for productive servers
define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://www.screenprintcatalog.com');
// Secure webserver: eg, https://localhost - should not be empty for productive servers
define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://205.178.147.44'); // eg, https://localhost
define('HTTP_CATALOG_SERVER', 'http://www.screenprintcatalog.com');
define('HTTPS_CATALOG_SERVER', 'https://205.178.147.44');
// secure webserver for catalog module and/or admin areas?
define('ENABLE_SSL_CATALOG', 'false');
define('ENABLE_SSL_ADMIN', '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)
define('DIR_WS_ADMIN', '/test/admin/');
define('DIR_WS_CATALOG', '/test/');
define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_ADMIN', '/test/admin/');
define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG', '/test/');
I havn't experienced this kind of issue, but now we're dealing with a new server company - the only light they've provided is "With the SSL Cert, all traffic is now routed through the static IP 205.178.143.9 and then is proxies over to your hosting package." - could this be causing the above issues?
