In this case the admin server was already http. I tried to switch the admin server SSL on, by manually editing the directory. Now the admin server won't start at all, and no error message is logged to the console or error log. A couple of questions at this point: - How does the console know whether to contact the admin server using SSL or clear? - How do you reset the state of the console entirely? In the case of the admin server: - Which files in the config directory can be edited by a human and have an actual effect? - How do you refresh the files in the config directory, so that they reflect changes you've made in the directory itself? - How do you completely and entirely flush a server out of the directory and the console so that you can start the process from scratch yet again?
