Problem: I recently developed a problem where I cannot add modules, users or groups or images, but I can add group types, content types and content. When I try to add the other things, it appears the page simply refreshes and I cannot find any errors. It seems like I cannot change my database but by adding content I imagine that I am accessing it. I can remove things, just not add.
Wondering: At the same time this problem developed (not sure this is the cause) my SSL certificate expired and my host had to renew it. It is now renewed. Could this cause any issues with drupal or accessing my database?
More Info: I archived my drupal files, made a new database and installed a fresh version of drupal on the new database. The problem persists. The only user I can add is the admin account that's created when drupal installs. I don't know what kind of issue could survive replacing all files.

Eliminate the SSL Certs for now
Certificates can be updated in an afternoon. If it can't be done for some reason then speak to the Apache admin and have them update the redirects for the https virtual domains so that they resolve to the regular http ports. As long as the certs are expired then they aren't doing your site any good.

Sorry, I wasn't clear. It is
Sorry, I wasn't clear. The certificate is renewed and seems to be working. I'm just wondering if it is different than the certificate before if that may be causing my issues. Is there something I have to change whenever I renew the certificate. Of course the new certificate may not be causing my problem. Thanks.
