    Default Can't get rid of alert page on new install

    This is the first time I'm using Zen Cart and I went through the installation without a problem, I can view the site, but when I type in the admin address, it directs me to an alert page with broken images on it and it looks like the home page of my main web site. I did not create this page. It's redirecting to a sub-folder in my store directory called admin, and this directory doesn't even exist! I renamed the admin directory like I was instructed to. There was a previous and incomplete installation of Zen Cart on the web site, but I delted all of the database files and deleted all of the files on the server before starting over again. Any help would be greatly appreciated :)

    You renamed the admin folder. Did you then download the two config files, and rewrite all the lines that needed rewriting, and then upload them?
    If you did - when you tried to go back to the admin login page for the first time, did you check to see that the bookmark wasn't directing you to the old /admin/ folder? The first time you may need to go up to the URL bar and replace /admin/ with
    /newnameofadminfolder/

    Hhhhhhmmmm... I downloaded both configuration files, but I do not see a reference to the admin directory. It would be the following two files: /includes/configure.php and /newadminfoldername/configuration.php, right?

    I also found references in /newfoldername/includes/configure.php and renamed them as well.

    Default Re: Can't get rid of alert page on new install

    What I probably didn't do is make the file read-only again. However, once I make the file read-only again in Dreamweaver and upload it to the server, it's no longer marked as read-only on the server, so it's not loading the admin area still.
