Good morning, 

I am not able to enter my Invision client (admin) area. Is this something you can help with?

Kind regards,

That seems to be an issue with your domain not resolving at times. It does actually resolve eventually if you leave the page open

Thank you for the response. 

The login page comes up, when I try to login with my credentials, it just goes back to the login again. 

 

Check that if you are using https, you also have https set up in your conf_global.php file

Yes, I am using https. 

I can't resolve your site's DNS address and IsItDown says it's not reachable either.

And from MXToolbox, it could not resolve the domain.

If you're able to see the page, it's most likely a cached version.  When you try to login, you're most likely not getting anywhere because it can't access a cached version when you're logging in.  

I think you are correct, when I sign out, I can't get back in. So this is a host issue?

It's absolutely a host issue.   With DNS being down, it's like taking the sign off your house with your house number on it.  No one knows where to go to find your site!

Okay, thank you for the response. I filled out a ticket on the host site. 

 

I had to update the nameserver. I guess this takes some time to propagate. But the site seems to be up now. 

Yes, most users should pick up the change pretty quickly.  I can access the site now.  🙂

I'm glad you got to the bottom of the problem!

Able to access, but not able to sign in. 

I'm assuming that will "propogate" as well?

Given that you were getting a cached page earlier when the site was offline, it's possible the login response is cached for you as well.  Try a different browser or clear your browser cache and then try accessing the site again.  

Also...  you had a post on your website about 8 minutes ago, so people ARE getting in now at least!  🙂 

I try to login, and get "this is a non secure form" when I hit send it will send me to the next login screen, then back to "this is a non secure form", etc. Screens attached. 

 

This is because you are not using SSL. You need to work with your host to enable SSL for your site. Once it’s enabled, you can change your board path to use it. 

See the following guide:

 

Okay. 

 

Right now I can't log into the Then log into the AdminCP. Will that change when the host enables ssl? 

I can log into the AdminCP now. Seems like https is working. Something you did, or the host?

Randy does not work for IPS so would not have access. We also have not done anything so you would need to ask your hosting provider.

Gotcha, host provider must have fixed. 

Nope… I’m not an IPS person. But I did say at a Holiday Inn Express last night!  😄

Glad to hear it is working though 🙂 

My domain is issued with an SSL certificate. The site's main page and most inner links are loading securely over https with a valid SSL certificate. Its just that the inner link which is being redirected to is loading in http.

Is there someone that can help me make the changes in code or in database to load the respective inner links over https? Not sure I'm experienced enough to do so. 

Kind regards

Could you please clarify what you mean by "inner link"?

Hey Jim,

I wish I could, that was a cut and paste from the host support (Eleven2). 🙂 

Line 32 is correct, right, other than clearing system cache from the CP, this is all I need to do?
