[Solved] Help! SSL Redirect loop

[babyewok]

I have set up a site with v 1.4.2.5 recently and the SSL works just fine. Now I am working on a new site v. 1.4.3 and a) I cannot access the enable/diaable SSL radio button in the back office, despite clicking the link, but have got around this by manually editing the ps_configuration table to enable SSL and MOST IMPORTANTLY I cannot access the account/cart areas as there seems to be a loop in the SSL redirect. I get this error in Firefox:

Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete.

I have searched the forums and found peopl having this porblem with older 1.4 versions (http://www.prestashop.com/forums/viewthread/99081/) but since I cannot find $_SERVER[‘HTTPS’]) == ‘on’ anywhere on v 1.4.3, the solution offered does not work!

Please help - I am really pulling my hair out with this one!

As a last resort, I am considering downgrading to v 1.4.2.5 - would this even be possible? Are there any database differences between 1.4.3 and 1.4.2.5?

OK, so I downgraded to 1.4.2.5 and the site STILL hangs on entering https. Sinec I have v.1.4.2.5 working without this issue on another site that is with a different host, I canonly assume this is an issue with the host. Any ideas about what I need ot do? The host for this site is 123-reg

Finally! It seems that my host requires that I use: $_SERVER['SSL'] instead of $_SERVER['HTTPS'] in FrontController.php. SSL redirect no longer hangs!

For PS 1.6.*
\config\settings.inc.php
Add in the end of file

$_SERVER['HTTPS'] = 'on';

And loop will be Fix
