Reinstall - can't get past database setup

[mc12345678]

Doesn't match any configure.php that I recall. Should be located at YOUR_ADMIN/includes/configure.php

"Original" version of the admin/includes/configure.php for ZC 1.5.1 can be seen here: https://github.com/zencart/zencart/b...-configure.php

While the image includes text wrapped around, it appears that the two are relatively similar. (haven't done a line for line compare, but does look familiar to the *old* way that it was formatted.)

As of Zen Cart 1.5.1 (the version being used), the admin directory path is auto-determined by the line(s) below the red text. In this way, the admin directory never needs to be hard coded in the file and the admin directory can be renamed on a whim without further revision of the file. However, there may be an .htaccess file that has been manually generated in a parent directory of that folder which may need to be updated to properly reference that directory.

The question right now would be what issue is being experienced when attempting to access the admin directory? If receiving some sort of message about installing, please be sure to include information that is towards the bottom of the message indiciating the reason(s) the message is being provided. May still be experiencing DNS issues as I have not been able to access that site using the domain provided in the first post of this thread.

Interesting. I just tried on my phone to access my admin page and it says server not found. From a computer it says 504 DNS look up failed. I’m not even getting the install notifications. I’ll cal my host. In the meantime, is there a specific .htaccess file I need to look at? I didn’t change any files. I just pulled them out of the folder and put them in the root directory.

If your old configure.php files are no longer valid (evidenced by invalid paths in them, especially if you've switched hosts/servers/etc), you can build new configure.php files.

In such a case I would:
- create a new separate temporary database that you will discard in a few minutes
- run zc_install and treat it as a new install, providing that new temporary database when it asks you for database details
- this will also generate updated configure.php files suitable for this server.
- then delete the temporary database
- then update both configure.php files with the correct "real" database name, and user credentials, so that it displays real data.
- (if you were actually upgrading from an older version now you could re-run zc_install and choose Database Upgrade) -- but you seem to be using the same version in your situation so this last step isn't relevant.

Hey everybody - thanks for your help and suggestions! I was able to get it done with completely wiping/reinstalling the database. I'm missing some images and stylesheet settings, but I'll figure out where to make those changes again. I'm getting there!

Ok I thought I had this all figured out. However, if I go to www.personalizedpetid.com the page won’t load. If I just type personalizedpetid.com the site loads. How do I fix this?

Looks like a bad or missing 301 redirect. Since your SSL does not include www, I would use the following in your .htaccess

# Needed before any rewritingRewriteEngine On


### Built using the .htaccess 301 Redirect Generator from Web Site Advantage
### https://websiteadvantage.com.au/HtAccess-301-Redirect-Generator
### Place after 'RewriteEngine On' and before any CMS specific rewrite rules


# Redirect HTTP with www to HTTPS without www
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.(.+)$ [NC]
RewriteRule .* https://%1%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]
# Redirect HTTP without www to HTTPS without www
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\. [NC]
RewriteRule .* https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]
# Redirect HTTPS with www to HTTPS without www
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.(.+)$ [NC]
RewriteRule .* https://%1%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]
