PROBLEM Admin 404

[stevef]

Hi
I get a 404 error when trying to access site admin after installing ssl cert. Any help would be appreciated.

I doubt this is the problem, sounds more like a redirect you have.

But you can try to edit website.xml and change your siteurl to https

Thanks for the reply Shawn.

After a few changes I am now able to access the admin all is working Ok with the exception of updating pages, this still returns a 404 error.

Try add to .htaccess this

Code:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI}

And this

Code:

RewriteCond %{HTTPS_HOST} ^your-site.com/ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.your-site.com/$1 [R=301,L]

I am unable to resolve this problem.
I have a fresh install where I can add new pages and edit them, the redirect 404 only happens with the index page when i try to update or change the text there, or add an image to the new page.


I see this in the in the browser address bar.

/admin/changedata.php

And this is what the page shows.

Oops! Page not found!

We are sorry, but the page you are looking for does not exist.

I could really do with some help or advise on on this!

Probably the problem in mod_security. Contact your hosting to remove the mod_security rules for the domain you have.
