Admin Not Accessible after SSL & Dedicated IP

[yeah!]

Hi - I purchased an SSL certificate and Dedicated IP for my site on Sunday. Site is hoopclothes dot com. We had begun using Paypal Pro so this was necessary.
After the purchase I edited the config.php files as stated in the tutorial (though the admin/includes/config.php didn't match the directions). I then discovered that the site wasn't coming up, but I had put it in maintenance mode prior and figured it'd be up in 24 hours once everything 're-propagated'.
The next day I find out it is going to take up to a week for the SSL to be installed. I attempt to get to admin thinking I could turn off maintenance mode, turn off paypal pro and turn off SSL again in the config files. But I get this note in the browser trying to get to admin:

"You are seeing this page for one or more reasons:

This is your first time using Zen Cart™ and you haven't yet completed the normal Installation procedure.
If this is the case for you, you will need to upload the "zc_install" folder using your FTP program, and then run zc_install/index.php via your browser (or reload this page to see a link to it).

Your /includes/configure.php and/or /admin/includes/configure.php file contains invalid path information and/or invalid database-connection information.
If you recently edited your configure.php files for any reason, or maybe moved your site to a different folder or different server, then you'll need to review and update all your settings to the correct values for your server.
See the Online FAQ and Tutorials area on the Zen Cart™ website for assistance."

Obviously it is not the first time I've used the zencart since I've had the site up almost a year. I looked at the config files and turned the SSL off and re-loaded them.
I still get the same message as above. I called the host (hostmonster) to check if this was something on their end and they said no. I did need to change my IP to get FTP access once I got the dedicated IP.
The config files read like this now:
includes/config.php

define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://www.hoopclothes.com');
define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://www.hoopclothes.com');

// Use secure webserver for checkout procedure?
define('ENABLE_SSL', 'false');

and admin/includes/config.php
define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://hoopclothes.com');
define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://hoopclothes.com');
define('HTTP_CATALOG_SERVER', 'http://hoopclothes.com');
define('HTTPS_CATALOG_SERVER', 'https://hoopclothes.com');

// Use secure webserver for catalog module and/or admin areas?
define('ENABLE_SSL_CATALOG', 'false');
define('ENABLE_SSL_ADMIN', 'false');

I have tried adding www. to the domain names in the list above and it didn't make any difference.

Does anyone have any idea what is wrong? Why I can't get to my admin? Help!

I edited the config.php files as stated in the tutorial (though the admin/includes/config.php didn't match the directions).

If the file didn't match the directions, then it sounds like you might be editing the wrong file.

And, the filename is "configure.php", not "config.php". If you're using the wrong filename, then you're most certainly going to be having problems.

But I get this note in the browser trying to get to admin:

"You are seeing this page for one or more reasons:

That message appears when your configure.php file(s) is/are missing, or has too-low permissions such that it's unreadable by Apache/PHP, or if the file contains mangled or invalid contents.

The config files read like this now:
includes/config.php

define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://www.hoopclothes.com');
define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://www.hoopclothes.com');

// Use secure webserver for checkout procedure?
define('ENABLE_SSL', 'false');

and admin/includes/config.php
define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://hoopclothes.com');
define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://hoopclothes.com');
define('HTTP_CATALOG_SERVER', 'http://hoopclothes.com');
define('HTTPS_CATALOG_SERVER', 'https://hoopclothes.com');

// Use secure webserver for catalog module and/or admin areas?
define('ENABLE_SSL_CATALOG', 'false');
define('ENABLE_SSL_ADMIN', 'false');

Again the note about filenames.
And if that's *all* you've got in those files, then you're going to have all manner of problems, because all the rest of the regular content is still needed.

I have tried adding www. to the domain names in the list above and it didn't make any difference.

Not surprising. It really should be set to include www. if your storefront does though.

[yeah!]

Hi - Thanks. Yes sorry the file names are configure.com I typed it wrong in my post. The permissions are set at 444. That was not all my configure.php files contained. Those were the only parts I edited. I will post the entire files below.

See anything that would be causing this?

[Ajeh]

Your Catalog uses the www in the URLs but your Admin does not ...

You should really change them to match ...

[yeah!]

Hi - Thanks. I have changed the admin>includes>configure.php file to match with the www as suggested. It makes no difference. I still can't get to the admin pages.
See anything else?

[Ajeh]

Try removing the file:
/your_secret_admin/includes/configure.php

from the server and then load a fresh copy ...

[yeah!]

If I do that it will delete the .htaccess doc since i can't download it.

is that a problem?

[yeah!]

Is it possible this issue has to do with the shift to a different server?
Hostmonster says this should not change any of the paths, but maybe there is something somewhere that needs updating?

This is so frustrating!! help...

[Ajeh]

I just want you to remove 1 file on the server:
/your_secret_admin/includes/configure.php

and re-load the file to the server to ensure it has the changes you are looking at in the file on your computer ...

[yeah!]

Oh, I have done that at least 10 times. Just did it again. No difference.
