    Default 404 error after changing name od admin folder

    Hello all, I just installed a new cart. I have to change the name of my admin folder per https://www.zen-cart.com/tutorials/index.php?article=33. but when i change the name in the 3 places that are mentioned and the folder name I get a 404 error. this is a second site in a larger public server. the entire cart is loaded in a folder. my permissions are at 777.

    can anybody think of anything i may be missing?

    thanks in advance

    404 = "not found", which indicates that you've not entered a valid foldername in your URL

    I checked that also. It recognizes the folder until i change the name. I copy and pasted just to make sure there were no spaces or anything

    Of course it recognizes it until you change the name. Then when you change the name you need to change the URL you're going to.

    Okay ... I look at it this way: The server will only say "not found" if indeed it's not found.

    Sounds like you need to talk to your hosting company for specific help.
