    I figure it out, I don't know but from some reason I've got this error when trying to overwrite.

    Response: 553 Can't open that file: Permission denied
    Error: Critical file transfer error
    Command: DELE configure.php

    So I delete the file and is all ok.

    Bluehost hosting account. I hope this will help others.

    Default Re: Followed recommendations to rename admin folder - now doesn't work

    I have same exact problem just like other people above. I see they solved their problem but I still can't although I followed all the suggestions here. My host confirms that I did all the right things but it just won't work for some reason.
    My version is 1.3.8a and I have Ceon's URL Manager installed.

    Here is my website if you want to take a look at it.

    Any help (including professional) will be highly appreciated.

    Thanks in advance.

    Default Re: Admin re-naming problem solved

    Zen cart admin re-naming problem solved.
    Apparently it was the .htaccess file under store where we had SEO URL re-write rules. One of them was refering to the old "admin" folder name. Changing it to the new folder name put us back in business. Of course you have to apply all other basic instructions at the following link first;
