1.3.9h to 1.54 --> no admin

[split63]

Just changing the server info in the dist-config.php did not work. (Yes, I changed the name to config.php)

Here is an entry from the dist-config.php file

  define('DIR_WS_ADMIN', preg_replace('#^' . str_replace('-', '\-', zen_parse_url(HTTP_SERVER, '/path')) . '#', '', dirname($_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'])) . '/'); 

Should this line be modified to include the secret admin directory name? For example:

  define('DIR_WS_ADMIN', preg_replace('#^' . str_replace('-', '\-', zen_parse_url(HTTP_SERVER, '/path')) . '#', '', dirname($_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'])) . '/MyZen/'); 

Also, I assume I should be focused on the /MyZen/MyAdmin/config.php and not the /MyZen/config.php file


This entry seems anemic:

define('DIR_WS_CATALOG', '/'); 

Should it be

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

It says, change the folder name and don't worry about what's in the file

There is no need to alter the admin configure.php in v1.5.x when renaming your admin folder.

Correct. Just change your admin folder name, leave the configure.php file alone, and Zencart will find the admin folder.

Nothing I do seems to matter. If only there was an error message or something!!!!
Here is the whole admin config.php file.

Several "errors" in the file.

First, the filename is configure.php not config.php. Second how do you get to this site you are hosting, is it http://localhost or is it some other address?
3) Do you have a SSL certificate?
4) Your logs definition is wrong, either remove DIR_FS_CATALOG . Or remove everything within the single quote that follows leaving only /logs.

Several "errors" in the file.

Yes, it is configure.php

Second how do you get to this site you are hosting, is it http://localhost or is it some other address?

I have tried using the real URL:

define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://www.MyDomain.com'); 

3) Do you have a SSL certificate?

Yes

4) Your logs definition is wrong, either remove DIR_FS_CATALOG . Or remove everything within the single quote that follows leaving only /logs.

As you can see in the file, it was originally:
define('DIR_FS_LOGS', DIR_FS_CATALOG . '/logs');
However, look at the note in the file just above that entry. It says to change it.

[mc12345678]

It does not say to change it, it identifies that it is equivalent. By substitution (as DIR_FS_CATALOG is defined above to include everything up to the catalog itself) the full path to the logs directory is defined with DIR_FS_CATALOG . '/logs'

Includes/configure.php and admin/includes/configure.php are the files used by a standard version of ZC that can be downloaded from https://www.zen-cart.com/getit.

Problems could exist if there is a configure.php file in includes/local or admin/includes/local. Verify the absence of configure.php from each of those directories. Also, be sure that the database information in the admin/includes/configure.php matches the database information in includes/configure.php

Admin/includes/config.php is a file added by some other process/action unrelated to a default install.

[split63]

I can't believe it. The problem was that I copied the configure.php in to ./admin/ instead of /admin/includes. Sorry folks.
I'm now at least getting an error message.
