MySQLi Login has broken since updating site with a SSL certificate and static IP

Hello,

I've been running this site and cms (in a subdomain) for a couple of years. Yesterday the client wanted to update to a https address. I purchased a PositiveSSL Wildcard and Static IP from JustHost and after a couple of hours the front end was working; the cms subdomain was not.as it was were the site images were stored. Reading further I updated the .htaccess file with the following code:

# Justhost.com
#.htaccess WildCard SSL
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^subdomain.example.com$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/subfolder/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /subfolder/$1
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^subdomain.example.com$
RewriteRule ^(/)?$ subfolder/index.php [L]

Substituting my subdomain and domain. Hooray. Everything worked.
.
I tried to login to the CMS only to discover that the page would refresh with the subdomain/index.php url and an error Error in SQL syntax.

I have done everything I can think of to fix this problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Can I get a url to reproduce the problem and the username and password you used in the private area. I may need FTP access as well in order to fully debug and find the solution.

You didn't update your connection for the domain: cms.yoursite.com

So it was trying to use your testing server connection information and failed to connect to the database. I updated the connection file and it appears to have fixed the problem.

Ray, thanks for looking at this, From the form submission of the cms index.php page, a successful login should take you to cms.domain.com/pages/ folder, your amendment makes it clear that the page is instead taking you to cms.domain.com/index.php, which is a .htaccess mirror of the domain.com/index.php page. I think something is missing from the .htaccess allowing other pages in the subdomain other that index.php, /pages/index.php for example.

I've now updates the .htaccess record, which stops the redirect, the form on the CMS login page now redirects successfully.

Many thanks again for looking at this.
