First, I must point out how wonderful my hosting company (Hostdime) is! They responded to me within a few minutes of submitting my trouble ticket and had the issue resolved! I regret spending an hour searching the net and trying to fix the issue myself, Hostdime customer service is excellent!
Here’s the fix that worked for my administrator login on a Joomla 1.5 build:
The following value in my configuration.php file was set to ‘1′ forcing SSL:
var $force_ssl = ‘0′;
Since this account does not have a SSL installed *yet* I cannot force it to use SSL as it will fail.
The odd thing is, I was able to use the site during most of the development before the error occurred.
Hope this helps someone out there in Joomla land.
This helped me in joomla land. Searching the web was not very fruitful until I stumbled upon this!
Great! I am happy to have helped out. I spent some time searching for the answer as well, so hopefully it will help others too.
