Joomla SSL error on administrator login page

On April 14, 2009, in Random, by admin

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.
