User being redirected to https:// when logs into Joomla user login panel/module.

[sven_sim]

User is getting redirected to https:// (giving SSL certificate error) when login to the Joomla 'user' login panel/module even though SSL is not installed on the website and there is no reference for https:// or SSL in your files and in the Joomla admin panel.


One of the solutions is to make a small tweak as follows in the file "/home/username/public_html/libraries/joomla/methods.php"

Search for the variable $scheme (around about line number 80) and set the parameter :-

If the parameter is set as $scheme = ( $ssl === 1 ) [ i.e. use https] change it to $scheme = ( $ssl === -1 ) [i.e. use http] and save the file.


That's it.

Note :- Take a backup of the file before making any changes.
