    Default Not picking up new admin folder

    Hi,

    I'm using the latest version 1.5.5 on my new site *********.com and used Softaculous to install it.
    I followed all the instructions when setting it up, but I have run into a problem, when I change the zcadmin folder name to my new admin folder name it can't find it? I know in the older version 1.3.x, you use to change it in the configure.php file, so I tried this but still it will not work?

    It is still running the Admin control from /zcadmin

    define('DIR_WS_ADMIN', '/myadmin/');
    define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_ADMIN', '/myadmin/');
    define('DIR_FS_ADMIN', '/home/ladyde5/public_html/mywebshop.com/myadmin/');

    One other thing, because I used Softaculous, I did not have to start the installer?

    Any help would be kindly excepted?

    Best regards,

    Don

    In Zen Cart v1.5.5 there is NO path for the admin in any of the configure.php files. It was rewritten to autodetect the path based on the URL you enter.

    What you quoted above should NOT be in your configure.php files. Perhaps the softaculous installer is broken and doing things the way v1.3 did?

    Your admin configure.php file should only have the entries as shown here: https://github.com/zencart/zencart/b...-configure.php
    .

    Starting with 1.5.5 you no longer need to edit any config file for the Admin directory name. If you want to change it then use your Hosting Control Panel -> File Mgr. or an FTP and just rename it. As mentioned, Zen Cart will automatically pick up whatever the Admin dir. is called and use it.

    Actually, it was long before that starting with ZC 1.5.1.
