Rename Admin folder

[milelk]

Win Merge is a really easy way of finding the differences between my files and changing them, thank you so much! I didn't get the chance to finish them all, but I will go through them all and will post how it goes. Can i ask, will there be many changes to the zen cart files after I installed the cart and made my modifications? I would like to avoid overwriting my changes here using Win Merge better, by knowing where to look out for them. And yes, this time I'm working on a copy so there are backups!

Perhaps the tutorial should be updated to include this?

For future reference to your question about the "Catalog config" file, open that file up /includes/configure.php and look for the SSL switches as well as the Admin switches. It looks identical (for the most part) to the one found in the Admin.

Simply make sure your paths there match to those (where applicable of course) in the Admin config file.



One more hour of frustration here.

Dr Byte, you have saved my bacon! I removed the paths that Dreamweaver added with the marvelous WinMerge and am back up and running! I can't thank you enough

Glad to hear that.

Hi, I am having this problem, I have changed every instance of admin to a new name in admin/includes/configure.php but can only log in when SSL is off.

In the other configure.php file there are no references to admin and I can't see anything else I could change.

Any help appreciated.

D'oh!

There was a glaring error, isn't there always.

I was using a shared SSL and was using

https:/www.sitewithssl.co.uk/subdirectorywheremysiteis/

and it works without the trailing /

Could some one please tell me what to change in the /includes/configure.php file so I can log on admin again. I can't for the life of me figure it out. I have the one in admin/includes/configure.php changed Thank you

You don't touch the /includes/configure.php file if you're only renaming your admin folder.

Only the /YOURADMINFOLDER/includes/configure.php file needs to be edited.

What changes did you make?

That all looks fine.

Why can't you log in ?

Are you using the new address to get in ?

Sorry about that DrByte. I went back and redid it again, and now everything is working like it is suppose to. Thank you for being so nice to everybody that is on this form. We couldn't do it without people like you. Thank you again
