Unable to access ACP - SSL certificate issue

[AshieF73]

Hello,

Over the weekend I have tried to upgrade from v3 to v4, and long story short the UTF8 conversion overwhelmed the 1&1 hosting database size causing upgrade errors.  So I moved my domain from 1&1 hosting (where it had a SSL) to a new host.

The upgrade went fine on the new host until the DNS settings kicked in and now I get SSL certificate errors when trying to access secure areas of the site, meaning I can't login anywhere.

I changed my config file to remove the https and change to http.    I cancelled the SSL certificate with 1&1 (although no idea how long that takes).  I still can't access the ACP.  Is it some kind of cache issue with the forum software?

Can anyone advise what I need to do?

I did find this tutorial on the Invision website, but I assume this relates to an earlier version of the software.

Did you have HSTS configured on your old site for the SSL?  If so, that's going to be a major issue as your browser is expecting to connect via SSL.
