renaming directory folder

[Ajeh]

It appears to me that your configure.php is not setup correctly ...

Could you post your file, from the server, for:
/includes/configure.php

without your username and password ...

I'm not sure how to post it (?)-- here's a copy/paste

// Define the webserver and path parameters
// HTTP_SERVER is your Main webserver: eg, http://www.yourdomain.com
// HTTPS_SERVER is your Secure webserver: eg, https://www.yourdomain.com
define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://dancingtothespiritofthewood.com');
define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://dancingtothespiritofthewood.com');

// Use secure webserver for checkout procedure?
define('ENABLE_SSL', 'true');

// NOTE: be sure to leave the trailing '/' at the end of these lines if you make changes!
// * DIR_WS_* = Webserver directories (virtual/URL)
// these paths are relative to top of your webspace ... (ie: under the public_html or httpdocs folder)
define('DIR_WS_CATALOG', '/home/danci18/public_html/');
define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG', '/home/danci18/public_html/');

define('DIR_WS_IMAGES', 'images/');
define('DIR_WS_INCLUDES', 'includes/');
define('DIR_WS_FUNCTIONS', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'functions/');
define('DIR_WS_CLASSES', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'classes/');
define('DIR_WS_MODULES', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'modules/');
define('DIR_WS_LANGUAGES', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'languages/');
define('DIR_WS_DOWNLOAD_PUBLIC', DIR_WS_CATALOG . 'pub/');
define('DIR_WS_TEMPLATES', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'templates/');

define('DIR_WS_PHPBB', '/');

// * DIR_FS_* = Filesystem directories (local/physical)
//the following path is a COMPLETE path to your Zen Cart files. eg: /var/www/vhost/accountname/public_html/store/
define('DIR_FS_CATALOG', '/home/danci18/public_html/');

define('DIR_FS_DOWNLOAD', DIR_FS_CATALOG . 'download/');
define('DIR_FS_DOWNLOAD_PUBLIC', DIR_FS_CATALOG . 'pub/');
define('DIR_WS_UPLOADS', DIR_WS_IMAGES . 'uploads/');
define('DIR_FS_UPLOADS', DIR_FS_CATALOG . DIR_WS_UPLOADS);
define('DIR_FS_EMAIL_TEMPLATES', DIR_FS_CATALOG . 'email/');

// define our database connection
define('DB_TYPE', 'mysql');
define('DB_PREFIX', 'zen_');
define('DB_SERVER', 'localhost');
define('DB_SERVER_USERNAME', '*****');
define('DB_SERVER_PASSWORD', '*****');
define('DB_DATABASE', '****');
define('USE_PCONNECT', 'false'); // use persistent connections?
define('STORE_SESSIONS', 'db'); // use 'db' for best support, or '' for file-based storage

// The next 2 "defines" are for SQL cache support.
// For SQL_CACHE_METHOD, you can select from: none, database, or file
// If you choose "file", then you need to set the DIR_FS_SQL_CACHE to a directory where your apache
// or webserver user has write privileges (chmod 666 or 777). We recommend using the "cache" folder inside the Zen Cart folder
// ie: /path/to/your/webspace/public_html/zen/cache -- leave no trailing slash
define('SQL_CACHE_METHOD', 'database');
define('DIR_FS_SQL_CACHE', '/home/danci18/public_html/cache');

// EOF

NOTE: the idea was NOT to show your content sensative data ... I have removed it from your post ...

Let's start by getting this file corrected ...

Change these two:

  define('DIR_WS_CATALOG', '/');
  define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG', '/');

See what that does for a start ...

The images are there. I'm stunned and ecstatic. I can't begin to thank you enough.
Do I change the same files in the admin/includes/config.php?

[bluelion]

In checking out things (please know how pleased and relieved I am that the website is functioning again) I find I cannot access admin. I get the following error page:
The requested URL /home/danci18/public_html/xxxx/login.php was not found on this server.


(xxxx is the renamed admin folder).

[Ajeh]

I do not know what you have in your file, on the server, for:
/yoursecretadmin/includes/configure.php

You could post it, WITHOUT, the username and password ...

NOTE: You seriously need to upgrade to a better version of Zen Cart than that buggy, insecure, non-safe, feature lacking and potentially accident waiting to happen v1.3.8 ...

[bluelion]

I'll try to post without risking security issues:



// NOTE: be sure to leave the trailing '/' at the end of these lines if you make changes!
// * DIR_WS_* = Webserver directories (virtual/URL)
// these paths are relative to top of your webspace ... (ie: under the public_html or httpdocs folder)
define('DIR_WS_ADMIN', '/home/danci18/public_html/secret admin/');
define('DIR_WS_CATALOG', '/home/danci18/public_html/');
define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_ADMIN', '/home/danci18/public_html/secret admin/');
define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG', '/home/danci18/public_html/');

AND

define('DIR_FS_SQL_CACHE', '/home/danci18/public_html/cache');


[NOTE: I inherited this site and will upgrade to the latest version as soon as possible. I do understand that this version is NOT a good version. I needed to fix some things for the store owner as soon as possible, and I'm very concerned about doing the update as there are several issues in the current site which will make that difficult--i.e., the template files are not designated as to customized, or original and I don't know (yet) what plugins, etc. have been added.] Plus, as you can tell, I am certain I don't know enough to do the upgrade "seamlessly".

I am not sure of all the settings, but from what you are showing:

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

[bluelion]

I changed those settings. I can now get to the admin log in page, but when logging in, it gives me the following error message:
The requested URL /home/danci18/public_html/secret admin/login.php was not found on this server

When I stated to work on the redirect this morning, I changed the setting in Admin Configure Sessions to:
/home/danci18/public_html/cache (I believe /cache was the ending--since I can't access it now, I don't know for sure).

Since I can't access the Sessions panel, I can't change it.

Sorry to be so illiterate in these things--I'm willing to learn!

How about posting, from the server, the whole file:
/yoursecretadmin/includes/configure.php

and mark out the username, password and such like I did in your post for the:
/includes/configure.php

so we can see what is going on ...
