I am using Magento for my online store.Yesterday I changed its SSL settings from
Magento Admin area -> System -> Configuration -> Web
and now I can not access the admin area.It gives me error 404.How can I change SSL setting without having access to admin area ?
thanks in advance
Open your core_config_data table in phpMyAdmin.
Find the row with the path web/secure/use_in_adminhtml and change its value field from 1 to 0 to enable accessing admin panel from unsecure http://www.yourwebsite.com/admin url
Changing web/secure/use_in_frontend toggles customer shopping cart security, 1=on and 0=off which probably isn’t of importance as you’re trying to regain administrative access
Clear /var/cache, /var/session and after you’ve done the above and regained access your system, reindex your URL_rewrite index after changing settings. This is necessary because your config is cached and clearing it forces a reread of the configuration data from the core_config_data table.
