admin login page is missing. cant access admin area

[ztotheetothen]

i'm not sure what happened to my site, but my admin area page in not available.
earlier today it was simply blank when you visit it , and after making few changes to admin/includes/configure. php file i was able to load a bunch of "weird characters". its not a blank page, but at least im editing the right file.

version 1.3.8 zen cart, trying to upgrade it all as soon as i am able to log in the admin.

please help, link to the admin is http://got-jdm.com/motorpin

just change the admin directory to motorpin . same errors

after making few changes to admin/includes/configure. php file

What else had you done to require edits to the configure.php file??

the changes i had done was to adjust the proper folder structure on my server. my website was hacked longtime ago, then i closed up all security holes, but last week my hosting company upgraded their sql version ( i think) and that when I started to get this issues)

after the mysql upgrade, my catalog was down also, but i was able to find post on how to fix the website itself, now its just the admin that needs to be fixed.

thank you

Use FTP and check your admin files for any recent modified date that you are not aware of - - maybe all files
