Installing CMS Made Simple Using Shared Certificate Error?

Post by rtnews »

Ok,
I know this probably has been answered before, when I install CMSMS using shared SSL, I cannot log into the admin. I try to log in but I am returned to the same page which probably means the session is messed up some how. Can anyone help? The only thing I did was change my config.php to:

$config['root_url'] = 'https://ssl.hostingplatform.com/my site name.com/';

are there more steps involved? I have been searching for hours on this forum and found no helpful information. Please help. Thanks.

Hi,

It depends on what you're trying to accomplish, but that doesn't look right. I'll guess you want to use SSL for admin functions and optionally allow it for frontend users. If that's true, you might start with something like the following and see if it suits your needs:

Code: Select all

 $config['root_url'] = 'http://mysitename.com'; 
 $config['ssl_url'] = 'https://ssl.hostingplatform.com/my site name.com/'; 
 $config['admin_url'] = 'https://ssl.hostingplatform.com/my site name.com/admin/'; 
[/size]It's been a while since I tried CMSMS with shared SSL, but I did get it to work a few versions back.

Hope this helps,
Fred P.
