Can't get to admin - redirects - fresh install

[Jackrabbit]

I have read through many threads of this same problem and have tried as best I can to make sure everything is in order as it should be, but I appear to be missing something. I am unable to log in to admin after a fresh install. I get messages stating "The webpage at http://www.motionartist.me/cartwheel...5126/login.php has resulted in too many redirects."

I spoke with a godaddy tech who said everything should work as I have it and suggested I ask this forum if there's something in the database I can change to fix the redirect loop.

One thing odd I noticed on one thread was that moving the admin folder was mentioned as part of the set up and install. I saw and followed instructions for renaming the admin folder, but never saw any instructions to move it.

The website I am attempting to use this on is just a sandbox for me to learn this on. (www.motionartist.me)

Thanks in advance for any help.

When I try this address: http://motionartist.me/cartwheels/OxCart75126/index.php (notice that it's without the www. in front) I see that it's trying to redirect to http://www.motionartist.me/cartwheel...5126/index.php

Have you made any changes to any .htaccess files?

I second that, probably an htaccess problem.

By the way, for security reasons you might want to make a new database name, db user, and rename your admin. No-one should know what the credentials are, but now they're posted in a public place ;)
