Hello, First. Best Regards

I'm new to OStraining

This is my first question

I have a site with its own IP and SSL certificate, when you enable SSL for the administrator in joomla 1.7.5 (Site> Global Configuration> SSL Force> Administrator Only), I could not login! In the administrator, I had to modify configuration.php and change $ force_ssl = '1 '; to $ force_ssl = '0';, back to login!

1. Why did this happen?
2.As I can activate the ssl, without causing the problem again?

Hi and welcome, neoicono!

First, we need to get your Joomla version up-to-date to the latest 2.5.6. Your current one has several security issues in it as well as a lot of bugs that have been fixed in Joomla 2.5.6. Hopefully one of those bug fixes will resolve your current issue as well.

You can use the following tutorial to update:
www.ostraining.com/blog/joomla/how-to-update-joomla-17-to-25/

Please make sure you've made a backup first:

Let us know once you've updated and tried the SSL again.

Looking forward to your reply!

Kind regards,
Nick

Hello, I have installed Akeeba Backup Pro, and you create the backup, a doubt upgrade to Joomla 2.5, the template will make me lose?, I use JA_METHYS of JoomlArt

Hi Neoicono,

Your Joomlart template should take no effect if you upgrade your site from 1.7 to 2.5.

Also, Joomlart does have 2.5 versions, but your 1.7 template will still work with J!2.5.

Also, welcome here to OSTraining! :-D

upgrade to version 2.5, but I had to correct the database at:

Extensions / Extensions Manager> "Database"> Fix

The template looks good

But I have a problem within the administrator, quick icons displayed incorrectly, I let the image

also displays the version of joomla, above "Joomla! ® is free software released under the GNU General Public License."

I recommend, or should I do?

Hi neoicono,

I think the only problem with the administrator icons is that you need to clear your cache.

Go to Site > Maintenance and click Clear Cache. See if that fixes it and let us know.

Cheers,
Ed

Hi again neoicono,

You should also clear your browser's cache and refresh the page after you clear the cache.

Cheers,
Ed

Yes, indeed, yesterday cleared the cache and fix it, sorry for not tell them in this forum, all I'm in doubt, over the copyright, I can not see the version of joomla installed, this is normal?

server performance with joomla 2.5 has been much better ;)

If you are expecting to see it at the top of the administration page like Joomla 1.5 it won't be there. Now on the dashboard there is an icon that will tell you if your Joomla is up-to-date or you need to upgrade.

Hello, I still have trouble activating the SSL certificate on joomla, whenever the active (Site> Global Configuration> SSL Force> Administrator Only), I can not log back

I have to modify configuration.php and change $ force_ssl = '1 '; to $ force_ssl = '0';, back to login!

In the configuration.php file is the livesite="" empty or do you have a value in there? It should be empty.

Ed

Hi, Ed

public $live_site = 'Web address appears';

should be empty?

Yes, you are creating a loop because the admin keeps trying to redirect to the live site if you have anything in there.

If that doesn't fix it, let me know.

Ed

Okay, we turn on SSL, and I could login!

Thanks, Ed ;)

Excellent! Glad you're moving forward. Keep up the good work!

Cheers,
Ed

Dear edandrea,

You provides the true solution to this problem. Problem solved immediately!! (I'm on Joomla 2.5.9 and encounter the same problem. Tried many solutions on the web but your solution is clear, effective, and the only one that solves the issue!!)

Thank you!!

Edward

Hi and welcome, Edward!

Great! Glad to hear that Ed's advice was spot on and that it resolved your issue. Thanks for the feedback!

Kind regards,
Nick
