Help with SSL and Admin Page Not Working

ok i set up 2 test sites, and i get errors on one of them. INFO BELOW

http://chuck68tx.net/zencart/admin this is the link without SSL on and i did not change anything in the files and everything works , main page and admin section........

**only thing i added was the cherry_zen template to both **

with the site without SSL on i can use all the links in the header and all the pages show.

the site **with SSL on **the links for My Account and Checkout only bring up blank pages also.

the error below is what comes up when i try to go to my admin with this link:
http://chuck68tx.net/admin , only thing i changed was the info for setting up SSL

i followed the instructions
in the turtorials section on setting up SSL....... the main site for http://chuck68tx.net itself works ......

This is the error i get with the SSL on trying to log into the Admin on http://chuck68tx.net/admin

not sure why i get the problems with SSL on

Chuck68tx

1. Why do you have spaces inside the ' true' and ' false' values for your SSL settings?

2. Why are your files double-spaced?

3. Since the error message is telling you there's a problem on line 183 of your admin configure.php file, what's on line 183 ?

Warning: session_start(): Cannot send session cookie - headers already sent by (output started at /home/content/c/h/u/chuck68tx/html/admin/includes/configure.php:183) in

this is the info where line 183 is: i have tried all 3 methods it says and tried both permission settings and still get the same errors. oh and not sure why there are spaces inside the true and false i fixed that.

What's on lines 175-thru-185 ?
(change your password to xxxxxx when posting, if that's on one of those lines)

Ok i deleted out my server info before i posted this. this is my whole admin/includes/configure.php file. thought it might be easier to post the whole thing . there are no passwords showing i took them out.

?>

Well, since line 183 is likely the last line of the file, you most likely have extra blank lines or spaces at the end of the file, after the closing ?>

The rest of the PHP syntax looks fine. I'm a little surprised to see that you've chosen to manually edit the dist-configure.php file directly instead of letting the installer build your configure.php files for you. But, naturally, you can use whatever approach you like as long as it works.

I recommend getting rid of the double-spacing in the file though ... that's most likely what's caused you the headache in the first place.

that is the way the lines were after the install, only files i edited were the includes config and the admin/includes config. i will fix the files and try it ...i appreciate your help.
