    I'm guessing you didn't change the /admin parts in admin/includes/configure.php

    No, there should be a admin/includes/configure.php file. I've renamed my admin folder and it does work. You have to change the name in admin/includes/configure.php.

    OK i stand corrected...
    On my local folder there was no configure.php but when i checked on the web server there was ...

    Thanks you guys for being very patient .

    so what i did originally was make changes to that dist-configure.php file will that give me problems later on?

    No, a completed Zencart installation doesn't use the dist-configure.php files.
