My ability to login to my DNN site locked up and gives the error below.  This happened just after I set the SSL for the site and for the home page.  My server provider tech help tells me the issue is in my SiteUrls.config file.   All I know is that I set the SSL at the site level and the homepage level and now I can't login to the site from any page without getting the error below and can't access the home page at all.

Here is the error when trying to login to the site.....

Thanks Julien!

That solves my locked out login problem. :)

The server folks say that they tested the ssl was indeed working by uploading a file to the domain using ssl FTP. Hmmm??

My other problem was that setting the ssl on the homepage made it so that I could not even access the homepage. The error was saying that it had too many redirects?? Do you think the login lock out on from other pages on the site was/is related to the too many redirects error in not being able to access the home page?

I am able to log in again and access the home page again after updating the DB to back out the ssl site and page settings... but I still need to some how solve the problem such that I can once again add ssl. I need it so I can add a FaceBook register module which requires ssl.

1. You have a static SSL IP address: 66.96.155.115 for your domain 'www.hishandsreader.org'.
2. Hosting Platform: Windows 2K3 and IIS6 Shared hosting.
3. SSL Type: Quick SSL
4. DNN Version: 5.2.2

Someone recommended
Check the “SSL Enforced” check box

Maybe you have some suggestions. Thank you very much!
