Can't access admin - says I haven't installed it yet?

[bbender]

I've been trying to install Zen Cart for several days now and can't get it to work. I've went through the installation instructions and everything seemed to work. But when I try to access the admin section it won't let me, it takes me to a page as if I haven't installed it yet. Please help!!

www.cornholebagstore.com is the domain, the path to the admin file is: www.cornholebagstore.com/catalog/baggo

Thank you in advance for any help you can give me.

wat happens when you rename baggo back to admin?

Most often, the reason that page displays is explanation #2 - the path information in admin/includes/configure.php is wrong. When you renamed your admin folder, did you edit all three instances in the configure file ?

I changed all three locations. I also tried changing it back to admin, and I still get the same thing.

When installing, the only thing I didn't really understand was the path for the local host. I used /www/catalog/admin because that is the path on the server, but could that be what is wrong?

Maybe I need to start the install over?

Thank you for all of your help.

I would if I were you. Other than changing the admin folder name, I've never had to manually edit a configure.php file. The installer should set all that stuff for you.

In the url you posted in the first message, if I change the last baggo to be index.php I see the store.

I do not see admin if I go to www.cornholebagstore.com/catalog/baggo/index.php
