what can I do to access the admin panel again.
Please help!

Hi lodha13

Do you have access to your DB ?, if so open your Database > tables and scroll down to stores, right click and select edit, in there you'll see your record for the store, just change SSL Enabled to "false" and you should be good to go.

Thanks for the info, Yes I do have access and I have already changed the value of SSLEnabled to false, but my question is how can i force it to use https without manually installing any certificate.
Also I read at many places that login, checkout page uses https by default but its not using. Did I miss any configuration ?

Hi lodha13

If you do not have a SSL certificate, you could use a "self-signed certificate" in IIS for this purpose but you would also need to bind it to your domain, this is not the most secure way but if it is for testing purposes only, then hopefully it will do the job

Appreciate your help on this, this has worked. I have further related question
I have read that if we dont enable SSL by default login and checkout page will anyway use https.
How can we perform such setting, things is I do not want complete website to use https as it will slow down all pages unnecessarily rather only login and checkout/payment page to be secured.

Any pointer will really help.

I have this same issue.

Looking for some advice on HTTPS set up. I had the cert installed on my server today . I selected the use ssl option in store configuration. Since then my website is not accessible. Every page gives me 'This site can’t be reached'. I changed the value in the database for sslEnabled back to false. I can now browse the website, but I can't browse any account related pages e.g. my account, or admin page. Has anyone else had this issue or know how I could solve this?

Thanks

I managed to resolve the issue. It was due to my certificate only able to work with domain.co.uk and not sub.domain.co.uk.

I had to create another cert for the subdomain.
