Trouble installing, cannot access my admin!!!!!

[ISILVER]

Hi,


I have followed every instruction as planned but everytime I have changed something it never works.
My theory is that the configure.php folder from /admin/includes/ is wrong. I followed this tutorial: https://www.zen-cart.com/tutorials/index.php?article=33

Section A confused me a bit as I did exactly as it said on the page.

If i contacted my Host( 123-reg.co.uk) would they be able to complete the installation.

Ive been trying for hours...

What could be the actual problem? The SSL are all set as false and the bit it wanted me to change on Sextion A I changed too:

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


define('DIR_FS_ADMIN', '/home/i-silver.co.uk/www/public/admin/');
define('DIR_FS_CATALOG', '/home/http://i-silver.co.uk/www/public/');

I have also tried changing the "admin" name numerous times

PLEASE HELP I really want to get underway


Thanks

There are only THREE /admin/ references to change. Why are you changing anything else?

[ISILVER]

O ok thanks a lot for your help... How would I go about changing it back to its original state before any changes are made because I havent saved it?

Thanks

A clean new install will give you back a working set of configure.php files.

[ISILVER]

Thanks again...

I have now done all of that but still it will not load... I do not understand what I am doing wrong...Is there anyway of checking where I have gone wrong? Or would it be best to contact my Host as they are usually helpful?

Thanks

[DrByte]

"still it will not load" ... means what exactly?

[ISILVER]

O sorry I meant i get a message " HTTP 404 Not Found"

Must forgive me, I am new to Zencart. Beginner.

This is my configure.php fileI have taken off the database information.

Also during Installation I changed the Virtual pathway info to my actual website if that helps

Why? By doing that you told it to put wrong information into the files.

You've installed Zen Cart files into a folder named "zen-cart-v1.3.9h-full-fileset-10262010", so unless you change the name of that folder, you shouldn't change that setting during installation.

Thanks a lot.. It is all working now.... Hopefully the new business will be worthwhile
