    Default Yet another problem with admin folder change

    The install of ZenCart was all going nice and smoothly till the "change admin folder page". I have read countless posts/FAQs/How2s and am still at a loss which silly mistake I have made.

    When I try to access the Admin page I get the standard:

    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, Click here to begin installation.

    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.


    I have renamed the folder "regina" I will change this to something much more secure once I have got it working.

    Here is the admin/configure.php file:

    // * DIR_WS_* = Webserver directories (virtual/URL)
    // these paths are relative to top of your webspace ... (ie: under the public_html or httpdocs folder)
    define('DIR_WS_ADMIN', '/regina/');
    define('DIR_WS_CATALOG', '/');
    define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_ADMIN', '/regina/');
    define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG', '/');

    define('DIR_WS_IMAGES', 'images/');
    define('DIR_WS_ICONS', DIR_WS_IMAGES . 'icons/');
    define('DIR_WS_CATALOG_IMAGES', HTTP_CATALOG_SERVER . DIR_WS_CATALOG . 'images/');
    define('DIR_WS_CATALOG_TEMPLATE', HTTP_CATALOG_SERVER . DIR_WS_CATALOG . 'includes/templates/');
    define('DIR_WS_INCLUDES', 'includes/');
    define('DIR_WS_BOXES', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'boxes/');
    define('DIR_WS_FUNCTIONS', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'functions/');
    define('DIR_WS_CLASSES', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'classes/');
    define('DIR_WS_MODULES', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'modules/');
    define('DIR_WS_LANGUAGES', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'languages/');
    define('DIR_WS_CATALOG_LANGUAGES', HTTP_CATALOG_SERVER . DIR_WS_CATALOG . 'includes/languages/');

    // * DIR_FS_* = Filesystem directories (local/physical)
    //the following path is a COMPLETE path to your Zen Cart files. eg: /var/www/vhost/accountname/public_html/store/
    define('DIR_FS_ADMIN', '/regina/');
    define('DIR_FS_CATALOG', '/');

    define('DIR_FS_CATALOG_LANGUAGES', DIR_FS_CATALOG . 'includes/languages/');
    define('DIR_FS_CATALOG_IMAGES', DIR_FS_CATALOG . 'images/');
    define('DIR_FS_CATALOG_MODULES', DIR_FS_CATALOG . 'includes/modules/');
    define('DIR_FS_CATALOG_TEMPLATES', DIR_FS_CATALOG . 'includes/templates/');
    define('DIR_FS_BACKUP', DIR_FS_ADMIN . 'backups/');
    define('DIR_FS_EMAIL_TEMPLATES', DIR_FS_CATALOG . 'email/');
    define('DIR_FS_DOWNLOAD', DIR_FS_CATALOG . 'download/');


    I even created a cwd.php file and uploaded that to the root, ran that address and got this:

    /customers/vanjasvagnar.se/vanjasvagnar.se/httpd.www

    But I tried putting in:

    /customers/vanjasvagnar.se/vanjasvagnar.se/httpd.www/regina

    and it still didnt work. I also read on the forums there should be a zencart folder, but I dont see this on my FTP. I have complete the install run through, so has something gone wrong?

    Eternally grateful for any pointers you can give.

    Might try this and if your frontend is loading make sure that the admin configure DB deatils are exactly the sane as the frontend configure details
    Code:
    // * DIR_FS_* = Filesystem directories (local/physical)
      //the following path is a COMPLETE path to your Zen Cart files. eg: /var/www/vhost/accountname/public_html/store/
      define('DIR_FS_ADMIN', '/customers/vanjasvagnar.se/vanjasvagnar.se/httpd.www/regina/');
      define('DIR_FS_CATALOG', '/customers/vanjasvagnar.se/vanjasvagnar.se/httpd.www/');
    BUT!!!

    As you have openly posted the name of your 'secret' admin folder you need to change it again
    Many cruise the forums for this type of fopa

    Nope still getting that same old zen cart page. I am tempted to remove all of Zencart, download ZIP files and start over. I have tried so many times to resolve this and am slowly but surely losing the will to live! :)

    It does not appear that you have installed the script

    Doing so with a NEW Database, will also create new and correct configure.php files
