htaccess & SSL

[saminmt]

I just changed .htaccess to redirect users from my http pages to the https pages with the following:

 

RewriteEngine on

#Options +FollowSymlinks

RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} ^80$

RewriteRule ^(.*) https://mydomain.com/$1 [R,L]

 

Now when I try to log on to mydomain/catalog/admin, I get an "invalid administrator login attempt" error message.

 

Any suggestions?

the SSL http pages to the https pages is sorted out in

catalog\admin\includes\configure.php

and

catalog\includes\configure.php

[saminmt]

the SSL is sorted out in

catalog\admin\includes\configure.php

and

catalog\includes\configure.php

 

The problem is, I can't access admin from the website... is there another way?

and

if the person want to secure the whole website, this can be done via .htaccess:

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule (.*) https://www.domian-name.com%{REQUEST_URI}

I just removed osCommerce and reinstalled it, thinking the best option would be to just start over. But I STILL cannot access the admin section, getting the same "invalid administrator login attempt" error message.

 

When I type in my username & password in the admin login, I get a SECURITY WARNING that I didn't get earlier:

"although this page is encrypted, the information... will be sent over an unencrypted connection... easily read by third party"

 

I removed the redirect code in .htaccess

 

When I installed osCommerce, I answered YES to the question about SSL, and gave www.mydomain.com as the https:// address...

 

should I have answered NO? and then set it up from within the admin panel?
