I've just installed Zen Cart for the first time to a new domain not having used Zen Cart before. The installation was no problem up to the point when trying to access the Admin Area. The warning message is displayed that Admin cannot be accessed until the zc_install folder is deleted and the "admin" folder renamed, etc. I have read all of the other threads I can find and have tried some of the suggestions but without success. Zen Cart (version 1.3.9) seems to have installed okay as I have it located at:
http://www.llphandmadecards.co.uk/catalog/index.php
I deleted the zc_install folder and changed the name of the admin folder to "newname" and the newname/includes/configure.php file has been ammended as follows:
define('DIR_WS_ADMIN', '/catalog/newname/');
define('DIR_WS_CATALOG', '/catalog/');
define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_ADMIN', '/catalog/newname/');
define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG', '/catalog/');
define('DIR_FS_ADMIN', '/home/sites/vip2163420/httpd/htdocs/catalog/newname/');
define('DIR_FS_CATALOG', '/home/sites/vip2163420/httpd/htdocs/catalog/');
When I try to access the Admin area I get a 404 Page Not Found error. I've repeated the process a few times and have even re-installed a complete Zen Cart download.
I checked the Admin folder permissions and it is set at 744 (I've tried 444 but my Freeola Server changes it to 744).
Am I completely missing something or is there another reason. Any help would really be appreciated.
