Rename Admin folder

[milelk]

Hi, I have a similar problem and I don't understand the error message. I changed the name of my admin folder following the instructions in the tutorial. I tried changing it back when i got the error but I still get...

Warning: require(../../zen-cart-v1.3.7-full-fileset-12302006/admin/includes/application_top.php) [function.require]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/windowam/public_html/store/admin/index.php on line 23

Warning: require(../../zen-cart-v1.3.7-full-fileset-12302006/admin/includes/application_top.php) [function.require]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/windowam/public_html/store/admin/index.php on line 23

Fatal error: require() [function.require]: Failed opening required '../../zen-cart-v1.3.7-full-fileset-12302006/admin/includes/application_top.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/windowam/public_html/store/admin/index.php on line 23

What does this mean?? Please help!

Do I need to go into the application_top.php file and change the path name or something?

You are showing two paths:
/zen-cart-v1.3.7-full-fileset-12302006/admin

/store/admin

You need the paths to be correct and match in both:
/includes/configure.php
/admin/includes/configure.php

/admin can be whatever name you want but they need to match ...

Thanks Ajeh, I really appreciate your response to my post. I will try to do as you suggest, but I'm not sure where the reference to 'admin' is in one of the configure.php file... I think its includes/configure.php. I'm not at home right now but I'll check tonight and post with how it goes.

I think I've got those 'zen cart' paths in almost every file so will I need to change the names in every file? The first time I changed my admin folder name, dreamweaver updated the relevant paths and I think maybe this error has come about because of that? I'm not sure thought cos I didn't look at the path names before I made the changes.

That's a bad thing.
Don't let it do that.
The ONLY place you should see your admin folder path is in your /admin/includes/configure.php file.

Crapples. Then I have a lot of work ahead of me! The file which my error references application_top.php has this path "'../../../zen-cart-v1.3.7-full-fileset-12302006/admin/includes/includes/local/configure.php'" in it several times. What should I remove from the path to correct it?

I think this has happened in a lot of files. Damn Dreamweaver! I clicked ok to that path update by reflex and am suffering the consequences!


Regarding my earlier post...
I cannot see reference to my admin folder path in my inlcludes/configure.php, only the 'store' path. From your comment about the other configure.php file being the only one to see the admin path I think I can say that thats ok.

[DrByte]

Do you have a backup of your files from before you started this procedure ?

[milelk]

Sadly no. *hits head on keyboard*, hence a lot of work. If I know what to replace the path with I can use the find and replace tool on each file though. That should save some time

Here's the fastest way to find out what's wrong in each file, and perhaps even to fix it:

Thanks for the tip DrByte! I'll give that a go when I get home tonight and post how it goes
