admin login.php has wrong URL

[artbobo]

I can't get to my ZC admin page. I just got an transfer account at bluehost and installed ZC 1.3.8 with the bluehost simplescript. My old site is still running on another hosting company so the 2 ZC configure files are set so they use the local server account name (e.g. http://box123.bluehost.com/~myaccount) rather than the domain name.
However when I go to admin/login.php and view source the html, the URLs are using the domain name rather than the local server account name.

form name="login" action="http://www.mydomain.com//admin/login.php" method = "POST"

I'm assuming the login would work if the URL was

http://box123.bluehost.com/~myaccount//admin/login.php

Since the mydomain.com is still hosted elsewhere I get an 404 error.

Otherwise I can navigate around the store, I just can't use the admin.
Why is php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_LOGIN, '', 'SSL') in admin/login.php producing the domain name.

thanks in advance--artbobo

Bluehost support found the problem. It seems that there is a third confiure.php file in admin/includes/local/ that needs to be modified.
Is this file documented anywhere? I've only seem the two other confire.php files mentioned in the book and documentation.

You don't need a the "third configure.php file" that you mentioned, unless you've added it for troubleshooting purposes, perhaps akin to this FAQ:
https://www.zen-cart.com/tutorials/index.php?article=82
Just delete the file if you don't need the services it provides.

I would just edit the two configure.php files you should be touching as DrByte suggested and remove the extra slashes in them ...

Check your URLs and they probably inadvertantly contain the extra slashes on the end ...

Just to followup.
The problem was extra slashes. The third file was not necessary once the URL was corrected.
Thank you all.
