Thanks for messaging me back so quickly. I’ve been working on this up until about 20 minutes ago. I figured it out.

I had to check the box in “Direct Admin” that said “Use Symbolic Link from Private to Public”.

I reinstalled 2.0.2

At that point it immediately logged me out again and this time I got a curl error (3 actually) but the page also showed the login area for wp-admin. I logged in anyway and went to the admin settings.

At admin I changed the SSL Host to https://www.mysite.com and left the port area blank. I checked the box where it said “Force SSL Exclusively”, and left the box at “Force SSL Administration” unchecked and clicked “Save Changes”.

It pushed me out of Admin and pushed me back to the Admin Login page and the curl errors were gone.

I logged in again, went to the setting page one more time and checked the “Force SSL Administration” box.

I got pushed out again and was pleasantly surprised that everything was – and still is – working.

Moral of the story: Make sure that the hosting company has the symbolic links set up correctly. Aaah, I feel so much better and I am so glad I did not give up on this. I wanted to!

Thank you again for trying to work through this with me.
