ssl not working after restore from back up

Hi, im hoping that there's a obvious solution to this.

I had to reinstall from a back up and there's been nothing but problems, my host (compila) are being very unhelpful.
I have managed to get the site back up and running but my ssl is not working, i have checked both config.php files and there set to true with the correct corresponding addresses. I have had to set the secure admin to false (to get in) as it was displaying a not found error page.
Where else can i look to find this problem?
The ssl and gateway are through protex with the addon addon from Conner with blow fish for the encryption

I know this is a little vague if theres any more info i can give you to help me solve this problem please ask, the shops been down for a week and it's driving me mad

Thanks, any help is appreciated

Thanks
Andy
