Admin – Can’t Set ‘Use Secure URLs in Frontend’

adminsecuressl

In Magento 1.9.2.4, when I go to System > Configuration > Web > Secure and set Use Secure URLs in Frontend to Yes, when I click Save, the field is set back to No.

Before clicking save:

After clicking save:

My goal is to make the whole site use https. All Secure Base * URLs are set correctly:

There are no entries in the logs when this happens and there are no relevant script errors. I note that it says "Store View" next to the settings, however I've looked at the store views and website settings and they all say use the Default.

I also see the same problem with Use Secure URLs in Admin.

Seems that no admin settings could be saved. I went into the Magento database and set

core_config_data.web/secure/use_in_frontend to 1 core_config_data.web/secure/use_in_adminhtml to 1

This allowed me to save settings in admin, however it didn't fix my SSL. I had to the use the Admin UI to set “Use Secure URLs in Frontend” to No and then set it back to Yes, without clicking save in between. Same for the Admin HTML setting.
