What did I do wrong ?

[vipinc]

I installed the zen cart folder on my web server.
Installed the installer trhough the browser.
At the end it gave message saying you cannot access your admin panel till

a) remove zc_install folder from your webserver.

I did this by using my web ftp client and deleted the zc_install folder

b) rename the admin folder along with the content in admin/include/configure.php

I change the name of the admin folder to my new name, and then downloaded the configure.php in admin/include to my local PC, changed the word admin in this file to my new name, saved the file and then uploaded it by over writting the earlier file.

Now when I enter http://www.dealsatclick.com/newname

I am getting HTTP 404 error.

Can someone tell me, what I did wrong ?

I double checked and it is confirmed that the configure.php file was uploaded to catalog/admin/include

Still nothing is coming on the screen.

You didn't state what version of zen cart you installed but I would guess this file was not changed on your Server.

your_admin_name/includes/configure.php

Reason being is that it is normally set with permissions of 444 which means you cannot upload a new file to overwrite it. Use your Hosting Control Panel to verify permissions and if need be, change them to 644 for the file then re-upload it again.

I am using version

zen-cart-v1.3.9

I have just now done it again, changed the permisions for the

my_new_admin_name/include/configure.php and ensured it has 644 permission level.

Then I uploaded the file from my local PC again, I got a pop up message, file already exsists, do you want to over write it ?

I clicked on 'yes'

Now again when I try to access

http://mydomain.com/my_new_admin_name

Again I get the same http 404 error.

Any advice ?

You changed 'admin' in the congigure.php file in all three places to your custom name ?

If so, try using your control panel's file manager to edit the file.

No luck

Have ensured that the old folder name 'admin' has been replaced with my new folder name.

define('DIR_WS_ADMIN', '/mysecretadminarea/'); define('DIR_WS_CATALOG', '/'); define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_ADMIN', '/mysecretadminarea/'); define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG', '/');

And:


define('DIR_FS_ADMIN', '/home/mystore.com/www/public/mysecretadminarea/');

define('DIR_FS_CATALOG', '/home/mystore.com/www/public/');


Still no luck.

The only weired thing I found was that the configure.php file had
('DIR_FS_ADMIN', '/mysecretadminarea/');

and I had to add the complete path '/home/mystore.com/www/public/

But even then still getting http 404 error

Also when I type my domain only in the browser

www.mydomain.com

It shows me a page which says

Index of /
Catalog/
