ssl in admin not showing

[kelly34]

Hi,

I am trying to install SSL on max 2.0. It is working fine on the front end but the lock in admin is not showing or going to https. If anyone can tell me what I am doing wrong it would be appreciated.

My settings for admin are:

// Define the webserver and path parameters
// * DIR_FS_* = Filesystem directories (local/physical)
// * DIR_WS_* = Webserver directories (virtual/URL)
  define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://www.domainname.com'); // eg, http://localhost - should not be empty for productive servers
  define('HTTP_CATALOG_SERVER', 'http://www.domainname.com');
  define('HTTPS_CATALOG_SERVER', 'https://www.domainname.com');
  define('ENABLE_SSL_CATALOG', 'true'); // secure webserver for catalog module
  define('DIR_FS_DOCUMENT_ROOT', '/var/www/html/'); // where the pages are located on the server
  define('DIR_WS_ADMIN', '/admin/'); // absolute path required
  define('DIR_FS_ADMIN', '/var/www/html/admin/'); // absolute pate required
  define('DIR_WS_CATALOG', '/'); // absolute path required
  define('DIR_FS_CATALOG', '/var/www/html/'); // absolute path required
  define('DIR_WS_IMAGES', 'images/');
  define('DIR_WS_ICONS', DIR_WS_IMAGES . 'icons/');
  define('DIR_WS_CATALOG_IMAGES', DIR_WS_CATALOG . 'images/');
  define('DIR_WS_INCLUDES', 'includes/');
  define('DIR_WS_BOXES', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'boxes/');
  define('DIR_WS_FUNCTIONS', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'functions/');
  define('DIR_WS_CLASSES', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'classes/');
  define('DIR_WS_MODULES', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'modules/');
  define('DIR_WS_LANGUAGES', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'languages/');
  define('DIR_WS_CATALOG_LANGUAGES', DIR_WS_CATALOG . 'includes/languages/');
  define('DIR_FS_CATALOG_LANGUAGES', DIR_FS_CATALOG . 'includes/languages/');
  define('DIR_FS_CATALOG_IMAGES', DIR_FS_CATALOG . 'images/');
  define('DIR_FS_CATALOG_MODULES', DIR_FS_CATALOG . 'includes/modules/');
  define('DIR_FS_BACKUP', DIR_FS_ADMIN . 'backups/');
  define('DIR_FCKEDITOR', DIR_FS_CATALOG . 'FCKeditor/');
  define('DIR_WS_FCKEDITOR', DIR_WS_CATALOG . 'FCKeditor/');

Try forcing the first 2 defines to https

define('HTTP_SERVER', 'https://www.domainname.com'); // eg, http://localhost - should not be empty for productive servers
  define('HTTP_CATALOG_SERVER', 'https://www.domainname.com');
