    Default Problem Accessing the Admin Area after DNS Change

    I installed our Zen Cart on a temporary URL given to us through the hosting. After transferring our domain, gunsandmore.org, to the new hosting server, I'm actually having issues getting to our admin area. What makes it even more difficult and annoying is I'm needing to set up an SSL for our website. The main page pulls up just fine, but everytime I try and access the admin folder under gunsandmore.org/[renamed-admin-folder] I get a 404 Error as if the folder does not exist. But using the temp url it pulls up just fine or even using:

    gunsandmore.org/~gunsan6/[admin-folder] it will pull up but it redirects me to the temporary URL.

    Is there a fix for this or do I have to re-install Zen Cart and cause a live site to go down for a hour or so?

    That sounds like an error in your hosting configuration, not a Zen Cart issue.

    Hi,

    Did you edit the following folder ?
    /[renamed-admin-folder]/includes/configure.php

    You should change there the URLs and paths accordingly.

    I talked with them and there telling me its a coding issue so I'm not sure where to go from there. I'll edit the post and provide the actual URL's so everyone on this forum can get an idea as to what I'm talking about. Just being able to access the login page is my problem.

    I have but some of the paths might be wrong. I modified these variables:

    HTTP_SERVER,
    HTTPS_SERVER,
    HTTP_CATALOG_SERVER,
    HTTPS_CATALOG_SERVER,
    DIR_WS_CATALOG,
    DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG

    It's not letting me edit my post so here are the actual links:

    https://gunsandmore.org

    Links I can't access:
    https://gunsandmore.org/access

    Link that works but redirects:
    https://gunsandmore.org/~gunsan6/access

    Also double check the following constants

    DIR_FS_CATALOG
    DIR_FS_LOGS
    DIR_FS_SQL_CACHE

    If you have a folder on the root named access, you will have problems too.

    This was the issue. I would have never thought of that. The issue was the folder name being access. Thanks! I'm at least making it to the folder now. All I have to do now is fix the paths. I appreciate this.
