I installed an SSL certificate with my ISP and had confirmation that it was installed. I made changes to Backlight, following these instructions. It seems there may have been an error at my ISP on cert installation. Net result, I cannot access my Backlight 3 Admin (or any aspects of my site through the admin panel) as it’s redirecting to an https that doesn’t exist.
Here’s the Info tip from the Backlight Settings regarding this feature.
I just tested disabling redirection and it’s working. I can now access my test site via http without it being redirected to https. (however, when I log into Backlight, the url still starts with https://, but my site has no problems with https so this may not be relevant…)
Anyway, give this a try:
Using FTP, download the env.php.skel file from the backlight/ folder on your site.
Open it using a plain text editor.
Change line 9 from what you see here:
I would say that the first step before enabling redirection should be to check that https access works. When the certificate is activated and installed by whatever means your web host provides, try to access your site using https://mysite.com. If this works, you can enable redirection, but if it doesn’t, there is an issue with the certificate installation procedure.
