[SOLVED] Using HTTPS on the admin section

Post by sonnydavis »

I'm using CMS version 1.11.2.1. I'm trying to get the admin section to use HTTPS. I added these lines to config.php:

Code: Select all

$config['root_url'] = 'http://atmae.jscc.edu';
$config['ssl_url'] = 'https://atmae.jscc.edu';
$config['admin_url'] = 'https://atmae.jscc.edu/admin';
Now, when I go to "http://mysite/admin, it automatically redirects to HTTPS. I can log in and we're still on HTTPS. So far so good.

But the heading links on the left side don't work anymore (CMS, Content,Layout,Users & Groups,Extensions, Site Admin, My Preferences). When the admin page loads, the CMS dropdown is expanded and shows Home, View Site, and Logout. The right side of the page displays all of the links to the rest of the areas. If I click on an area, the dropdown for that area expands on the left and shows the links underneath. Those links all work, but I can't expand any other headings. When I hover over the headings, they turn blue and the down arrow is displayed, but clicking them does nothing.

What am I missing here?

Reason: Please use double quotes on fake links so they aren't clickable...

1.11.2.1 is no longer supported. Please upgrade to 1.11.8 (or in the next day or two 1.11.9).

Please post system information from "Extensions >> System Information" (there is a bbcode option) on all posts asking for assistance.

If you can't bother explaining your problem well, you shouldn't expect much in the way of assistance.
