Rename admin doesn't work?

[hamidz]

Hi
I changed configure file and renamed admin folder as
(https://www.zen-cart.com/tutorials/index.php?article=33)
and I am pretty sure I did it right steps right here is what I get:

1146 Table '......zen_project_version' doesn't exist
[select * from zen_project_version....


Am I missing something or it there a bug?

Thanks for you help.

It's not a Zen Cart bug. It seems you're missing something.

At its basic level, all Zen Cart needs is for you to edit the configure.php file to match the new foldername.

The error you're getting indicates that you've altered the DB_XXXXXX settings in the configure.php file to point to an empty database, or to a DB_PREFIX that doesn't match the names of the tables IN the database you've specified.

It's fixed. Thanks
The problem was that in configure.php, I had this by default:
define('DB_PREFIX', 'zen_');

I changed it to empty: define('DB_PREFIX', ''); and worked.

The wired thing is that I never edited this line and it was by default in the file that I downloaded. I don't think installing tutorial mention to change this line.

Thanks for you help again.

Correct, the tutorial would have never mentioned that line because there's no need to touch that when merely renaming the admin.
Sounds like maybe you grabbed an old copy of the file or some example text someplace for some reason.

Glad you got it sorted out.
