    Default Problem with Admin after changing directory name for Admin

    I followed explicitly the directions for changing the Admin directory to a more secure name.

    After doing so and then visiting the new directory in my browser, I got the following page...

    Hello. Thank you for loading Zen Cart™.
    You are seeing this page for one or more reasons:
    1. 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).
    2. 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.
    To begin installation ...
    1. The Installation Documentation can be read by clicking here: Documentation
    2. 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).
    3. The Online FAQ and Tutorials area on the Zen Cart™ website will also be of value if you run into difficulties.

    I do not know how to proceed at this point. This scenario was not described in the "How do I rename my Admin folder to prevent unauthorized access?" document.

    After receiving the error page, I changed the config file back to its original /admin/ and changed the directory back to admin and the error page persists.

    I cannot access my Admin area now at all and I do not know how to proceed.

    Please advise.
