change from https back to http

hi,

I mistakenly changed the protocol from http to https and my site is now very difficult to administer. When I try to change it back, I get the following error "zen/zp-core/admin.php?action=external&error&msg="saveoptions" Cross Site Request Forgery blocked."

I have searched the forums, but couldn't find where the settings are stored.

thanks in advance.

    There is an option to change that (Gallery tab I think). If that for some reason does not work you will have to change that in the databse directly. Search the options table for "server protocol".

    To use HTTPS your server must be setup for this as well. Actually http and https act like separate sites. Ask your host about how to use this.

    Thanks Acrylin. Fixed it from the DB since the gallery page would not work.

    If you can visit your administrative pages the you change this on the security options tab. If you are locked out from these you will have to find the `server_protocol` option in your database "options" table. Change its value to `http`.

    Note that you CANNOT make database changes by FTP. You must find your sites MySQL control panel application and use it.
