Joomla Administrator force SSL login loop FIX

It took me A LONG time to find a solution on how to fix this problem. All credit for this fix goes to member:jptkts from http://forum.joomla.org.

This fixes the login loop issue when trying to login to the admin after making the Force_SSL to 1 or Administrator.

His original forum post is

I just wanted to re-post it in an easy to find place!

In the file: Joomlaroot/libraries/joomla/environment/uri.php
starting on line 214 replace this if statement:
Code:
if(JPATH_BASE == JPATH_ADMINISTRATOR) {
   $base['path'] .= '/administrator';
}

with the following:
Code:
if(JPATH_BASE == JPATH_ADMINISTRATOR) {
   $force_ssl = $config->getValue('config.force_ssl');
   if($force_ssl > 0){
      $base['prefix'] = ereg_replace("http://","https://",$base['prefix']);
   }
   $base['path'] .= '/administrator';
}
