Moved Zen Cart into root folder.. Admin doesn't work!

[chabates]

The web host's control panel is plesk 8.3

I did a test install of zen cart into /httpdocs/zen/ and everything worked fine no problems.

Then I deleted all that and installed zen cart again into my root httpdocs folder. everything went smooth and the customer side of the page looks fine. I cannot log in to the admin side because my web host uses the admin folder in httpdocs to as a login to plesk! ahhhh.

I tried chainging the admin folder name and such but i guess there is something stored in that admin folder already that because i cannot get this to work.

I don't want to have the www.mydomain.com/store/ appearance to my domain name so this is not an option.

Please HELP!!

After you changed the name of the admin folder, did you make the required changes in admin/includes/configure.php?

hey i just tried that and now atleast i'm getting to a new page. It says:

You are seeing this page for one or more reasons:

This is your first time using Zen Cart™ and you haven't yet completed the normal Installation procedure.
If this is the case for you, you will need to upload the "zc_install" folder using your FTP program, and then run zc_install/index.php via your browser (or reload this page to see a link to it).


Your /includes/configure.php and/or /admin/includes/configure.php file contains invalid path information and/or invalid database-connection information.
If you recently edited your configure.php files for any reason, or maybe moved your site to a different folder or different server, then you'll need to review and update all your settings to the correct values for your server.
See the Online FAQ and Tutorials area on the Zen Cart™ website for assistance.


do I need to edit the includes/configure.php as well as the admin/includes/configure.php?

You *do* have full backups of files and database, right?

Definitely check the paths in both admin/includes/configure.php and includes/configure.php.

i don't want to move it to another folder as stated above...

i don't really care about backing up seeing as i havn't even got on to it to make any changes yet!
