Problem accessing my Admin area

[ajhall]

I am on a new first time installation of Zen-Cart all of which has gone fine to point where I got 'Congratulations' screen indication that I had successfully installed Zen Cart on my system. Incidentally my website onto which I am trying to add the shopping cart is http:/www.anthonyjhall.co.uk
So all seemed fine up to this point and I followed instructions changing permissions to configure.php files to read only in both /admin/includes and /includes/ folders, however, I now seem unable to open my Admin area to enable me to proceed further. I assume to do this I need to enter a URL into my browers that will open the login page asking for my Administrator Username and Password. Problem is that I cannot figure out what the correct URL is that I should enter into my browser.
All my Zen Cart files have be put into folder named 'Catalog' in the Html area of my web site (i.e. Public.Html/Html/Catalog)
Can anyone guide me from here?
Thanks

Since you put your Zen-Cart files in a folder called "Catalog", your includes/configure.php and admin/includes/configure.php need to reflect this, as well.

But, when I go to http:/www.anthonyjhall.co.uk, I can see a site already set up, but it's not a Zen-Cart.
And if I go to http:/www.anthonyjhall.co.uk/catalog, I get a 404 page.
So if you uploaded all your files to "catalog", then you should have had to go to:

http:/www.anthonyjhall.co.uk/catalog/zc_install

and go through all the installation steps to get the "congratulations" page.

Then, once it was installed, you would go to:

http:/www.anthonyjhall.co.uk/catalog/admin

where it would MAKE you change the name of your admin folder to something else for security purposes before you could access it.

So, maybe I'm missing something you did here, as you said you saw the "congratulations" page?

Yes I did install using zc_install which was under my Catalog folder but has now been deleted as per instruction on the Congratulations page, please note the Catalog folder starts with Capital 'C' I gather Linux system is case sensitive so important to foll ow that point, however, even using Catalog with capital C in URL still comes up with 404 not found error.
You mention you can see another shopping cart but it is not Zen, a bit puzzled as to were you saw this unless you are referring to the page I have added www.anthonyjhall.co.uk/shopping-15-htm which is simply the page where I finally inted my Zen shopping cart to appear.

No, the page I saw was at http://www.anthonyjhall.co.uk/, which is a photography and graphic imagery site.

But, I did try both lower case and upper case on the 'C' 'c'.

Now, you mentioned that you changed the permissions on the configure.php files................did you make the other changes to reflect the path of your store?

Since it's in a folder called Catalog, then find these lines in Catalog/includes/configure.php (if they don't match these settings, you should change them)

  define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://www.anthonyjhall.co.uk');
  define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://www.anthonyjhall.co.uk');

  define('DIR_WS_CATALOG', '/Catalog/');
  define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG', '/Catalog/');

Then next 2, change the x's to your server path if not already correct:

define('DIR_FS_CATALOG', '/xxxxx/xxxxxxxx/public_html/Catalog/');
define('DIR_FS_SQL_CACHE', '/xxxxx/xxxxxxxx/public_html/Catalog/cache');

Then, in Catalog/YourAdmin(what ever you named it)/includes/configure.php:

  define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://www.anthonyjhall.co.uk');
  define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://www.anthonyjhall.co.uk');
  define('HTTP_CATALOG_SERVER', 'http://www.anthonyjhall.co.uk');
  define('HTTPS_CATALOG_SERVER', 'https://www.anthonyjhall.co.uk');

The next 2, change "YourAdmin" to what ever you renamed your admin folder to:

  define('DIR_WS_ADMIN', '/Catalog/YourAdmin/');
  define('DIR_WS_CATALOG', '/Catalog/');
  define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_ADMIN', '/Catalog/YourAdmin/');
  define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG', '/Catalog/');

Then next 3, change the x's to your server path if not already correct:

  define('DIR_FS_ADMIN', '/xxxxx/xxxxxxx/public_html/Catalog/YourAdmin/');
  define('DIR_FS_CATALOG', '/xxxxxx/xxxxx/public_html/Catalog/');


  define('DIR_FS_SQL_CACHE', '/xxxxxx/xxxxx/public_html/Catalog/cache');
