    application error Problem renaming admin directory!

    Link: https://www.zen-cart.com/tutorials/index.php?article=73
    I've done everything that step 2 has outlined and i have renamed my admin folder to something else (eg. randomcharacters321)
    When i attempt to access the admin part of my site, I type (example): www.mystore.com/randomcharacters321
    Instead of getting taken to the admin login page, I get the following:

    Not Found

    The requested URL /admin/login.php was not found on this server.
    Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
    Apache/1.3.37 Server at www.mystore(example).com Port 80

    ----------
    I have changed the paths that should be changed according to the steps in the first link ^, and the Not Found error is saying that /admin/login.php was not found. Why does it still look for the the admin folder at this location when I have changed it and changed it in the (originally) /admin/includes/configure.php

    Is Anyone able to tell me what i've done wrong?

    Default Re: Problem renaming admin directory!

    The location for the admin folder (re-named or not) is built from the admin/includes/configure.php file.

    I'm sure that you will have edited this to reflect your new folder name, but for some reason the changes haven't gotten to randomcharacters321/includes/configure.php.

    There are a few possible reasons for this. The two that I usually do are loading the revised file back to includes/configure.php where it is ignored; and uploading the file to the right place, but having the upload silently ignored by my server as the original is sitting there write-protected. To solve the latter I usually completely delete the version on my server so that there is no obstacle to the new version being uploaded.
