Dashboard Button Giving Me Redirect Error

Permalink
I recently had SSL setup by my web hosting service. I can login but when I click on the Dashboard button it get a redirect error (see below) what do I need to do so the dashboard is found.

The page isn't redirecting properly

Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete.

This problem can sometimes be caused by disabling or refusing to accept cookies.

Are you using Concrete 5.6 or 5.7? Do you have a BASE_URL setup in your config?

Sorry it took me a while to find I am a real novice at this. I am using concrete 5.6. I defined my BASE_URL in site.php in config and that caused some of my pages to give me a redirect error and the dashboard gave me the same error.

After changing a few things I was able to get into the dashboard. But I am getting errors from my PCI compliance scans stating I am transmitting information over HTTP instead of HTTPS. When I turned on web developer tool (console) to watch what is called when I click the dashboard buttion it shows it goes to HTTP with my web address to get its information/code. When I force (see code below) the dashboard to look in HTTPs for its information/code I get the redirect error. So dashboard will only work when it looks for its code/information under HTTP. I believe this is why my PCI compliance scans are failing. Why won't dashboard work with HTTPS?
Force code used:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/dashboard
RewriteRule ^(.*)$http://www.mywebsite.com/$1 [R=301,L]
