Install trouble

**zandabout** · 15 Jan 2011, 10:38 AM

Hi there,

just installed Zen cart for the 3rd time (my Zen Cart comes up on
on my server) BUT I cannot seem to get an admin page or find a
way to login to the admin area to modify ZC.

Checked & re-checked the config.php files in the /admin/includes
and /includes folders but cannot see where the problem.
Went over & over the instructions but nothing is obvious to me

Any hints to put me out of my misery?
I can't seem to find other threads about this problem

Thanks & regards

I made the same mistake.
Originally put Zen cart into the public_html directory but go a bit confused when experiencing some problems so then deleted everything
and added publi_html/catalog/
Only now I get a page at my domain giving a Parent directory and Catalog directory.

However,have just installed Zen cart on my domain (Zen Cart comes up ok in the /catalog directory)
BUT I cannot seem to get an admin page or find a way to login to the admin area to modify ZC
(.../catalogue/admin/ doesn't lead to the admin section.Not sure why).

Checked & re-checked the config.php files in the /admin/includes
and /includes folders but cannot see where the problem.
Went over & over the instructions but nothing is obvious to me

Anybody with any helpful hints?

If you installed the latest version, you were required to change the name of the admin folder - maybe that's why the link doesn't work ? What error are you seeing - 404 ?

The page you're seeing when navigating to the root of your site means that there's no index file there. I think Zencart belongs in the root (rather than /catalog) unless you have a specific reason to place it in a subdirectory.
