Can't Access /Admin on DEV

Post by sweeperq » Thu Oct 28, 2010 9:28 am

So, I attempted to create a backup of our current LIVE database and restore it on our DEV box so I could have all the products and categories properly populated. Now I can't access the /Admin area (says it can't be found). I think it has something to do with SSL being enabled since Visual Studio built in web server does not support SSL. I went into the database table ac_StoreSettings, changed SSLEnabled to false, then restarted Visual Studio, but it still cannot connect to the Admin folder. I subsequently restored my old DEV database backup and everything works again, so I know it is triggered by some setting in the database. Is there some other field or configuration file that is affected by enabling/disabling SSL?

I'm still curious as to what other fields are affected by this setting, but I worked around it by changing SSL Enabled to false in the Admin of the LIVE Store, taking a backup, re-enabling SSL Enabled on the LIVE store, than restoring that backup to my DEV store.

Hi there
Please look in the ac_store settings table and make sure that the StoreURL field is correct and the SSLEnabled field is set to False.

Thanks
Thank you for your support

The StoreURL was probably it. We had purchased a development license for development and testing before going all in. That license was tied to the IP address of the development server. The LIVE server uses a fully functional LIVE license. Thanks for clearing that up Mike!
