    Default 'Click Here to open the Admin area' doesn't work!

    Hi!

    I have searched and searched and read so many wonderful posts but none of them tackles my problem.

    I am a Zen Cart newbie and have followed the installation to the letter. Even received the Congratuations message you have successfully installed Zen Cart on your system.

    Great! But when I click to open the Admin area, it comes up with 'Redirection limit for the URL exceeded. This may be caused by cookies that are blocked.' AndI can go no futher.

    I looked in my configure.php for any missing '/' but found none. My paths appear to be correct.

    I have contacted my host re: this error message and they say it is my error. I am using Firefox and not blocking any cookies. I tried the page on IE and it just hung, never loaded the Admin page at all.

    I'm about to bail due to frustration.

    Can somebody take pity on this Zen newbie and help? Thank-you.

    Magic aka Angie

    Could you post the file, from the server, without your username and password for:

    /admin/includes/configure.php

    Hi, Ajeh!

    Here is the /admin/includes/configure.php file. I blanked out the username/password and also the Server and Catalog Server. I hope you or someone can help me!
