yup, that was the problem. I was running zc1.36 with php 5.2.
Fix cache key doesn't work but I appreciate the input. I have used that solution when changing a shopping cart from one server to another but shouldn't be needed on a fresh install. I did at least confirm that I writing to the correct cache directory.
I'm ready to dial back to 1.3.7 as I have multiple ZenCart stores running on my server without login issue unless someone else on the ZenCart forum has any other ideas....

Have you tried another re-install of the newer code? Perhaps something went wrong in your upload/install? Or maybe you've used a faulty one-click install offered by the hosting company?Quote:

After spending 2-3 weeks trying to salvage my old ZC1.36 website, I have come to the rational conclusion that no one should ever attempt to recontstruct an outdated website.
I used WinMerge as suggested, but there were more than 3000 files that had some minor differences, including white spaces. It was a daunting task. And after making all the changes and uploading, I still couldnt login.
My solution....
I simply installed the latest version and made the mods that I needed to get back the way it was. Most of those changes were in the stylesheet file.
I had several different mods on my original site. In time, if I think they are necessary I will add them. But for right now, I have my site back and I am back in business.
IMHO don't EVER waste your time trying to save your old website. Just update your database to the latest via the Install routine. Then install the latest ZC.
My site is now better looking and faster.
I thought I would update all on this forum on admin login issue that we were able to resolve on our end. After uninstalling 1.3.8 and installing older version 1.3.7 I still wasn't able to login to Admin. After talking with my server admin and errors I was seeing on initial configuration page we edited PHP Safe Mode on our server to "Off" and was able to login. Now reinstalling 1.3.8 version of ZenCart which we believe will work.
Thought I'd give you another update. 1.3.7 version works when PHP Safe Mode is set to "Off" on our server and able to login to admin only with Firefox browser. IE6 browser won't let me login.Quote:

Here's what we're running on our server:
Apache: 2.046.71
MySQL: 4.1.21
PHP: 4.3.2
Please read my advice above.
Its worth mentioning that after not having a sale for 2 months, my new look snagged a sale only a few days after the new install.

after setting up some redirects yesterday, I am now no longer able to log into my website.com/admin area. I used the sql script mentioned earlier in this thread with no success. I need to access the admin area as soon as possible. please pm me for any other information that is needed as I don't want my web address to be listed in this post.
Thanks in advance for all your help.
As your first step in fixing the problem, it would be prudent to undo the redirects and any other changes you've made since it last worked properly.Quote:

by the way, I still cannot log into admin after removing the redirects.
