After enabling the SSL in CubeCart I can no longer log into the admin section

You will need to create a new file called editconf.php in the directory that you have CubeCart installed and put the following text into that file:

<h1>Config Recovery Tool</h1>
<p><strong>Devellion Ltd & CubeCart provide this script without any warranty of any kind and by proceeding you are doing so entirely at your own risk.</strong></p>
<p>This tool is designed to edit your config file if for some reason your store becomes corrupt due to incorrectly changing your settings.</p>
<p>Example: If you have switched on SSL mode and your store has become broken. Select "config" from the dropdown menu below and set
$config['ssl']
to 0. No test to see if your store has been fixed and if so delete this file from the server. </p>
<p class="redText"><strong>IMPORTANT:</strong> You must NOT leave this file on your server as it is a VERY high security risk!</p>
<p><a xhref="index.php" target="_blank">View Store Front</a> - (Opens in New Window)<br />
<a xhref="admin/" target="_blank">View Store Admin</a> - (Opens in New Window)</p>
<p>Select Config to edit:
<?php
$query = "SELECT * FROM ".$glob['dbprefix']."CubeCart_config";
$results = $db->select($query);
?>
<select name="menu1" onchange="MM_jumpMenu('parent',this,0)">
<?php for ($i=0; $i<count($results); $i++){ ?>
<option value="?c=<?php echo $results[$i]['name']; ?>" <?php if($_GET['c']==$results[$i]['name']) { echo "selected="selected""; } ?>><?php echo $results[$i]['name']; ?></option>
<?php } ?>
</select>
</p>
<form name="form1" id="form1" method="post" action="editconf.php?c=<?php echo $_GET['c']; ?>">
<table border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2">
<tr>
<td><strong>Variable name: </strong></td>
<td><strong>Current Value: </strong></td>
<td><strong>New Value: </strong></td>
</tr>
<?php foreach($config as $key => $value) { ?>
<tr>
<td class="code"><?php echo "$".$_GET['c']."['".$key."']"; ?></td>
<td class="code"><?php echo $value; ?></td>
<td>
<textarea name="data[<?php echo $key; ?>]" cols="30" rows="2"><?php echo $value; ?></textarea>
</td>
</tr>
<?php } ?>
<tr>
<td> </td>
<td> </td>
<td><input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Update Config" /></td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>
</body>
</html>

====================================

After adding that to the editconf.php file then go to http://yourdomain.com/path_to_CubeCart/editconf.php

Change the variable $config['ssl'] to 0 and click Update Config. This will disable SSL in CubeCart and allow you to log into the admin section again.
