Not sure if I posted this before. I found this: https://www.invisionpower.com/support/kb/_/manually-disable-the-use-https-for-logins-setting-r68 but seems to require a download of IP. Board 3.4.7 tools 1.0.1 which I am unable to download from IP as I don't have an account. Anyone have this file? And no if it will work for IP board 3.4.6. Then I can probably disable https to log in.
edit: Just had a thought. Is it possible to delete any files in the mysitename/cache directory? Seems to be some php files in there, but also I guess this is where the cache of the web files is temporally stored? Perhaps clearing this could fix something? I am guessing mysitename/cache/tmp folder is a temporally folder and I can delete all stuff in it?
@laracroftonline I Don't think I answered your question directly. I am not using cloudfare. And I have tried removing the .htaccess and it doesn't resolve the issue
The hosts response "On this issue you should contact the experts involved in your site development" So now I am screwed, haven't got a clue how to fix this so that I can get onto the admin login page.
Is there anyone who is able to have a look at this and try to fix it? I am willing to pay for it.
EDIT: This has now been completed fixed! With the help of a Russian programmer.
For anyone who has the same issue. You need to re-enable SSL on the database and the run an upgrade script. I think this is relevant to what he did: https://www.invisionpower.com/support/kb/_/manually-disable-the-use-https-for-logins-setting-r68
