    Default Admin page weird

    Hello,

    Just installed zencart for the first time and all went well (after changing host). However, when I make the customised changes to the admin files - as requested just after installing - I can only get access to a page which says "index of/name" (where name is the new name of the admin file) and gives me a link to the parent directory - the main domain index page.

    I've never yet seen teh admin page so I don't even know what to expect here.

    Any help appreciated

    You should see the admin login boxes.

    Any time you see the index of ... page, it means you don't have an index file in the directory you pointed your browser to.

    I would guess you don't have the right directory name specified in the configure file. Did you change the 'admin' to your new admin folder name in all three places in admin/includes/configure.php ?

    I followed the instructions exactly - only changing the three names requested. I've looked over and over in case there is a silly error - but I seem to have done exactly as requested.

    I found another directory created on the server with the same name but empty - so deleted it.

    Now when I direct to the newly named "admin" file I just get "page not found".

    Going around in circles here. Wouldn't mind but it's been going on for several hours now.

    If I write the complete address (which includes the "/zencart/name/" then I get the following...


    Internal Server Error
    The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

    Please contact the server administrator, [email protected] and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.

    More information about this error may be available in the server error log.

    Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request

    Just so I understand:

    Your Zencart installation is http: //www.yoursite.com/zencart

    You changed your admin folder name to, say, newadmin.

    You edited admin/includes/configure.php to change the 'admin' to 'newadmin' in three places and uploaded it back to the server. Be sure you're editing the right configure.php file. There are two, one in admin/includes, and one in /includes.

    You directed your browser to http: //www.yoursite.com/zencart/newadmin

    and you get a 404 Page Not Found ?

    Try http: //www.yoursite.com/zencart/newadmin/index.php.

    If that doesn't work, your files must not be in that folder.

    it's that admin/includes configure file that I edited.

    I'm thinking tah perhaps I should just rip it all out and start again - but I can't see anythign that I'd do differently - I just followed the instructions and don't think I did anything different.

    I'm goin to give myself a time limit for this - if I still can't get anywhere by next monday morning than I'll give up. I've already spent a week just getting the servers organised to get this far - VERY frustrating.
