    Default Admin URL wrong after renaming directory

    Recently I renamed my Admin folder and made the changes to allow me to log in to the admin section in the new directory.

    I have just installed an SSL certificate on my Zen Cart 3.8. I also made the code changes in both config.php files. When try & I log in to the admin section, I again am directed to the old admin/ directory, not the renamed directory, and get an error.

    Does anyone know what file needs to be changed? Thank you.
    Jim

    Default Re: SSL Login Issues

    Your /renamed-admin/includes/configure.php file was likely read-only and thus your edits weren't saved.
    Make it writable before saving, and then make it read-only again.

    Thank you for your help. Unfortunately, I actually did change the permissions-and back. I also rechecked the file and my changes are there. It must be something else. Any help is greatly appreciated.

    That doesn't make sense. Did you check the file ON the SERVER? Or just what you thought you intended to upload/save?
    Maybe your browser has cached your admin pages?
    Maybe you're using bad bookmarks?

    Thank you for the prodding. I did check the files on the server. It was the #&%*% cache. I used reset, but after your reply deleted the cache and it worked great. Thank you. Firefox 3.5 does that. I should have checked. I really appreciate your help.
