Cannot access Admin on a new install

[Maynards]

I am going to build a new store with Zencart 1.5.4 I went through the installation process without any problems. (I think)
I can access the store but not the Admin. I think maybe the URL I am typing may be wrong but everything I try does not work.

I keep getting the 404 error. Page Not Found

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Please answers to all of the questions asked in the "Posting Tips". The "Posting Tips" can be found by scrolling up when posting a response. The more verbose you can be with your answers, the better chance a community member will be able to help.

In addition to all of the questions in the"Posting Tips", please provide a copy of the "/includes/configure.php" file created by Zen Cart during the installation. Remove the lines with DB_SERVER_USERNAME and DB_SERVER_PASSWORD. Please use code tags when supplying the contents of "/includes/configure.php" (this makes the file easier for everyone to read). Code tags can be created by pressing the "#" button when posting (EX: [CODE]file contents[/CODE]).

One of the big questions from the "Posting Tips" is: "HOW did you install Zen Cart? (upload via FTP and run zc_install, a one-click install from your hosting company, etc)?".

Can you verify the folder you renamed "/admin" to after install exists (via FTP)? Also keep in mind the name should not include any spaces and on most servers the name is case sensitive (capitalization matters). Usually a 404 indicates the folder (or file) does not exist on the server.

I can see I am not a savvy on this forum as I may need to be. I have no idea what your first paragraph means....

If you are not on a phone you can scroll up in your web browser when replying to a post (or creating a new post) to see the "Posting Tips". If on a phone, I would recommend accessing the forum on something with a larger screen (one can click "Full Site" at the bottom of the page from a phone, but navigation gets interesting). The "Posting Tips" look something like:

I am on a computer.
I currently have a store using zencart 139h that I want to keep running until I completely build a new store with zencart 1.5.4
I downloaded the new version to my computer then uploaded it using a FTP program then ran the install. I am able to open the new versions catalog/store but I am not able to open the Admin panel. I did not rename admin. I have done a search on this forum on that but came up empty.
I have placed this fresh install in a folder and not to the root directory because it will be weeks till I am ready to go live.

... I did not rename admin. ...

This is a step required when installing Zen Cart 1.5+ If you skipped this it may be part of the problem. I'd also advise against just overwriting a copy of the 1.3.x site (does not sound like you did this - which is good).

Please review "How Do I Install Zen Cart" and "How do I rebuild my site on the new version". Both are excellent reference documents (along with the documentation included with the downloaded copy of Zen Cart - if you downloaded from this website).

Keep in mind Zen Cart 1.5.4 will not run out-of-box under PHP < 5.3.7 and Zen Cart 1.3.x will not run out-of-box under PHP > 5.3. Reference "Zen Cart Server Requirements" for more details.
