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

I'm having similar issues here... All I updated was the admin/includes/configure.php file (see below) and zen-cart is prompting me with the "Hello. Thank you for loading Zen-Cart" page. I can still access the dev. site; however, I can't get to the admin site.... any help is much appreciated! THANKS!

I should also note that if I change it back to "admin" (from "bruno") it works again

//the following path is a COMPLETE path to your Zen Cart files. eg: /var/www/vhost/accountname/public_html/store/
define('DIR_FS_ADMIN', '/bruno/');

Why do you have no real path in that one?
If you specify a path that doesn't actually exist, then Zen Cart can't read the files it needs, and thus suggests to you that you need to run the install.
That's why you're getting the results you're talking about.
