When i enable SSL for my magento admin and goto the login page no CSS or layout files are loaded Normal SSL Enabled When i try to login i receive a 403 forbidden error and cant access the login page again. I notice that SSL URL changes to a non secure URL which is why i presume i receive the 403 If i manually add https to the non secure URL the layout is broken and non of the links work However the front side of the website has no issue over SSL In my error.log grep client1 /etc/group grep web1 /etc/passwd ls -la /var/www/clients/client1/web1 O/S Ubuntu 12.04 I chowned the SSL ownership from root root to web1 client 1 which hasnt done anything No other logs show what could be causing this Could it be a redirect issue when trying to login on a SSL address which is being redirected to a non secure URL and if so any idea where to look for this?
Overlooked the obvious There are 2 secure URL entries in the core_config_data magento database The 2nd one was pointing to the non secure address - changed it to https and i now have a secure admin
