Re: Can't upgrade db: Admin Password Required- but won't accept my password
The site is working OK on the frontend, but I can't get into the admin at all. Is there any way to kill that screen?? I REALLY think the install procedure is not working right.
One thing it's doing is changing the permissions on the includes/configure.php to 444 every chance it gets, and THEN it gripes at me that it can't write to the configure.php file even though I'm constantly checking on it to make sure it's writable.
Although the configure.php files say they don't want the prefix in there, the site won't run at all unless the database prefix is in there. --- But I think that might be messing up the installation procedure, it's having a hard time writing to some of the tables. I was trying to do it manually with PHPMyAdmin, and I ended up inserting the prefix into the SQL statements, otherwise it couldn't work on the tables.
I've been using ZenCart for almost 10 years, on several sites, and I do everything myself. So it's not like I'm a newbie. I've always been able to fix things on ZenCart, but this is a real mess.
Re: Can't upgrade db: Admin Password Required- but won't accept my password
Most likely the change of the configure.php permissions is being done by the server ...
As to the Install screen, ensure that you have a good configure.php file in the directory:
/admin/configure.php
I suspect that it is either missing or the paths/database are incorrect ...
Could you post the files, from the server, for:
/includes/configure.php
/your_secret_admin_dir/includes/configure.php
without showing your_secret_admin_dir or any passwords ...

THIS is the configure.php file from the secret-admin/includes/ folder:
