cannot access secure area of site

[Lizphilli]

When trying to access the secure area of my site I get a blank page.

 

I have two identitical installations one in a secure directory and one in a public directory. For the config files set to the insecure mode, the site works. This is a fresh install, but these configure.php values worked previously.

 

These are my config.php files:

catalog/includes/configure.php

Any help will be much appreciated

For the config files set to the insecure mode, the site works

 

The configure.php files in your ssl folder and your configure.php files in your public directory should be identical.

They are. I set up the installation in the public directory and then copied the complete installation to the secure directory.

Well, those configure.php files look to be okay - so it's probably something to do with the way your hosting company's servers handle ssl.

 

I don't have the info to hand, but if you do a search of this forum for 1and1 or look at the posts of user AlanR (who's posted a good deal about SSL problems) then you may find your answer there.

Thank you for your fast reply.

I have read AlanR's posts and checked my application_top.php file which is identical to my previous settings which worked. I can see the catalog files in a directory listing of the secure folder, but am unable to access them through a browser. I am able to access the file 'hello.php' in the catalog directory. Do you have any other suggestions for files I should check.

The domain is www.floweraffairs.com

Many thanks once again.
