Can't Login to admin

[Rob905]

Maybe you need to reset your admin password?

That didn't work either, should I just backup mySQL and run the installer again? That way I can make sure the SSL is off at the same time.

Thanks

If that's not working, then maybe you're pointed to the wrong database in your admin configure.php file?

I had already checked that between the two config files and my phpAdmin and that part was correct.
It seems that by changing the "Store Session" from ' ' to 'db' in both files, I now have access to my site, it warned me of the temporary password and how to fix it and I'm all good again.

I'm guessing something happened when I changed from the Windows server to the Linux server which changed my "DIR_FS_CATALOG" enough to mess me up by not downloading the updated files.

Thanks again to all the good people here at Zen-Cart.

PS, can you help me with my PST issue? It's not adding the PST to the subtotal.

There's a detailed FAQ on moving between servers which may help save some trouble next time you do it:

I followed that article, but the when I changed from the Windows server to the Linux server part of the DIR_ name changed since the login also changed.
I know better next time, but I think I'm covered on the Linux server.

Thanks again.

The point was that if you do a fresh install on the new server, it will build the appropriate configure.php files for the new server for you ... including all the DIR_ settings.
Then, you preserve those files when moving your old server's files over. Since you preserved the new files, the configuration should work without a hitch for the new server, since they were built for the new server.

I realize that, but what I did was uploaded a file from the old server from my local machine thinking that I had already downloaded the new version. (Which I didn't) so that's where everything went south.

But all is well again.

Any thoughts on the PST issue?
