Can't find my admin log site

[ladycage]

I installed zen cart and I have the /mysite.com/zencart/ but when I go to /mysite.com/zencart/admin/ the page doesn't exist. What am I doing wrong

My site is www.ladycage.com, please help I am an amatuer

You appear to have an error on your site, possibly in the configure.php file that is setting your site to a different URL ...

Compare the two files:
/includes/configure.php
/admin/includes/configure.php

see if you don't have an error on the admin configure.php ...

If you are not sure, post the file:
/admin/includes/configure.php

from the server ...

without your username and password and we can help you fix it ...

admin/includes/configure.php is below

I am hoping that your file on the server is not "really" wrapped like you have posted and is written on define per line ...

[Ajeh]

These settings:

define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_ADMIN', 'https://www.ladycage.zencart/admin/');
define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG', 'https://www.ladycage.zencart/');

Should read:

define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_ADMIN', '/zencart/admin/');
define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG', '/zencart/');

[ladycage]

I changed it in the admin/includes/configure.php file but I still can't access the admin site, it should be www.ladycage/zencart/admin/ right?

[Ajeh]

Your site should be at:
https://www.ladycage.com/zencart/admin

I do believe that you have errors in the files in the /admin directory and subdirectory ...

When you upload that file:
/admin/includes/configure.php

view it on the server and make sure it is not mess ...

Same with the file:
/admin/index.php

If all of your files are wrapping there is something up with your upload of the files that needs to be corrected ...

[ladycage]

should I uninstall zencart and re-install to fix the files?

[stevesh]

Sometimes when you download a .php file and open it in Notepad, you'll see that wrapping. My 'fix' is to open it in Wordpad, and save it. Then it views OK in Notepad. Have no idea why, but it hasn't failed me yet.
