    Default admin pages don't connect but store pages do

    hi,

    this afternoon i forgot the password to the db managing my zencart installation. totally forgetting that i could get it out of the configure.php file, i reset the password. this caused tons of issues.

    all of them but one is now resolved.

    the store is querying the db correctly, accessing the store front.
    (just a few items loaded but feel free to take a look)
    http://www.bvsnowmobile.com/zencart/

    however, the admin pages are not loading.
    http://www.bvsnowmobile.com/zencart/admin/admin.php

    i've gone over the configure.php file a 100x and can't figure anything else. your help is greatly appreciated!

    public_html/admin/includes/configure.php

    Check that one too?

    It says it's not connecting to the database. Make sure both configure.php files are the same for the database.

    Do you have a backup of your site and database before you did your password change?

    wait...how many configure.php files are there? i looked high and low (or so i thought) and only found the one you cited there.

    either way, i just went back and changed it to the old password (after remember what it was) and then changed the public_html/admin/includes/configure.php also to the old password.

    so, yeah, how many configure.php files are there?

    There are two.

    1. admin/ includes/ configure.php
    2. includes/ configure.php

    They both half to match for your shop to work correctly
