    Default Help can not login again; There was a security error when trying to login

    After copying my other store configure file over the login was working, now today is is back to the same problem. I get the message: There was a security error when trying to login. I never touched the catalog side as that was working. Today so far I have tried both IE and Firefox, cleared cookies and such on both. I cant imagine what could happen between shutting down my computer last night and start up and login today. Help I am going nucking futs. I am using 1.3.8a on both sites. they are:
    http://shop.nilandsplace.com/camp/
    http://shop.nilandsplace.com/shoes/
    respecivly. I do have SSL turned on at both sites. they are listed in both configure files as:
    [SCR]
    define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://shop.nilandsplace.com');
    define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://shop.nilandsplace.com');
    define('HTTP_CATALOG_SERVER', 'http://shop.nilandsplace.com');
    define('HTTPS_CATALOG_SERVER', 'https://shop.nilandsplace.com');
    [/SCR]
    Thanks James

    OK I was able to get in setting the following to the directory of my other shop.
    [SCR]
    // * DIR_FS_* = Filesystem directories (local/physical)
    //the following path is a COMPLETE path to your Zen Cart files. eg: /var/www/vhost/accountname/public_html/store/
    define('DIR_FS_ADMIN', '/home/www/shop.nilandsplace.com/shoes/admin/');
    define('DIR_FS_CATALOG', '/home/www/shop.nilandsplace.com/shoes/');
    [/SCR]
    But when I did this I got in with these errors as follows:
    [SCR]
    Warning: Your Admin login is not secure ... either you still have default login settings for: Admin admin or have not removed or changed: demo demoonly
    The login(s) should be changed as soon as possible for the Security of your Shop
    Go to Tools->Admin Settings to change login IDs and passwords.
    For additional Security for the Admin please see the /docs[/SCR]
    Help help!!!

    Help Help
    I have to keep changing my configure code
    PHP Code:
    // * DIR_FS_* = Filesystem directories (local/physical)
      //the following path is a COMPLETE path to your Zen Cart files. eg: /var/www/vhost/accountname/public_html/store/
      
    define('DIR_FS_ADMIN''/home/www/shop.nilandsplace.com/camp/admin/');
      
    define('DIR_FS_CATALOG''/home/www/shop.nilandsplace.com/camp/');

    // * DIR_FS_* = Filesystem directories (local/physical)
      //the following path is a COMPLETE path to your Zen Cart files. eg: /var/www/vhost/accountname/public_html/store/
      
    define('DIR_FS_ADMIN''/home/www/shop.nilandsplace.com/shoes/admin/');
      
    define('DIR_FS_CATALOG''/home/www/shop.nilandsplace.com/shoes/'); 
    To get logged in. both installs are 1.3.8a in directories /camp
    /shoes
    I don't understand why this is happening

    Default Re: Help can not login again; There was a security error when trying to login

    Not knowing what to look for I reinstalled Zen Cart with FileZilla Client. I first backed up my configure.php files. I now know how the template override works so any customizations still work, and there are quite a few!
    I guest I will never know what was at fault
