Enabled Ssl For Admin, How To Remove

Store Builder Questions
1

Hi,



I managed to enable SSL for the admin area while under the impression the server had SSL installed, which it had’nt. Now i cant access the admin area to change it back. Getting the SSL license installed will take some days, and it would be very nice to have access before that time. Is there any way to modify files by FTP to remove the SSL settings for admin?

To resolve this issue, you should execute the following SQL query for CS-Cart or Multi-Vendor of 4th branch to your store database:



UPDATE cscart_settings_objects SET value='N' WHERE name='secure_admin';




If you use CS-Cart or Multi-Vendor of 3th/2th branches, you should execute the following SQL query:



UPDATE cscart_settings SET value='N' WHERE option_name='secure_admin';




You can use the phpMyAdmin program for these purposes (it should be installed on your server). Below you can find instructions on how to use it:


  1. Open the phpMyAdmin program and go to Databases.
  2. On the opened page, click on the necessary database name link section.
  3. Open the SQL tab and insert the necessary SQL query into the SQL input field. After that click the Go button.



    I hope this information will help you.



    Thank you.

Thanks for the reply.

I have entered the query for version 4, and i got a positive response from the server that the file is changed. It is however the same problem. When i type inn the url to the admin panel, it switches to https and is unable to connect.

Thank you for the reply.



Please make sure that you open the admin link via HTTP connection. If it does not help, please contact us via the Customer Help Desk and provide temporary access to your server by clicking on the Add record link on the Access information page of your Help Desk account so that we could examine the issue.



Thank you.

I have the same problem. Set admin ssl in the cart admin screen, but ssl not installed. So I updated database with



UPDATE cscart_settings_objects SET value='N' WHERE name='secure_admin';



Unfortunately, I still cannot access the admin screens. when I type http://mysite.com/store/admin.php, I get page not found, but the page is there.



I can access the front end of store, but not the backend



???



Thanks

Thank you for the reply.



I am sorry to hear that the issue is still there. Most possibly, it is a cache issue. Please try renaming the var/cache directory of your store system to var/cache_backup06242014 and let us know the result. If you do not wish to make a backup copy of this directory, you can easily remove it. However, I recommend you to make a backup copy first. If you do not need it in the future, you can remove it later.



Also, it could have been a browser cache issue. Please try clearing it as well.



Thank you.
