Enabled SSL auto and now cant access the CP

[bojeebill]

I was accessing my server from the URL https://servername.local/main, I just changed the SSL setting from on to auto and after i applied it I cant access the server vi the web UI anymore. 

I can access the login page from http://(local server IP) but when submit the creds it redirects back to the login screen again. In chrome dev tools>network I see the following http://(local server IP)/login >302 > http://(local server IP)/Main > 302 >http://(local server IP)/login.

If it does not help edit config/ident.cfg on the flash drive and change USE_SSL from "auto/yes" to "no", then reboot.

one quick update: I was installing the My Server plugin prior to switching SSL to AUTO. Now i just checke dthe My Sever page on the unraid forum site and i do see the server online but when i click on the Local Access link it goes to the following URL http://servername.servername.local/ the server name is there twice

Interesting. Please upload your diagnostics.zip (from Tools -> Diagnostics)

 

Also open a web terminal and run this command, then paste the results here:

php /usr/local/emhttp/plugins/dynamix/include/UpdateDNS.php -v

I was able to troubleshoot this to a place that I was able to recove from. The main thing that helped was restarting in GUI mode and troubleshooting from on the machine. Found that the servername had changed and there was a few mismatches in the conf. Was able to sort it now. Cheers for the help all.

Note that if you manually edited any files not on the flash drive ( /boot ), those edits will be lost when you reboot.
