- Visit https://prestashop.mydomain.com and proceed with installation steps online. Select SSL enabled during setup.
- If you skip/forget SSL, you can update database later:
- Table ps_configuration
- PS_SSL_ENABLED --> 1
- PS_SSL_ENABLED_EVERYWHERE --> 1
- That way, we manage to get proper access to admin and shop pages both, without any ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS problem
