Wamp Admin login

Thanks. Well, I thought that the pathways may not be correct.
Anyway presently all I'm am getting is a white screen. Not even a 404 or 500.

Look in the /logs/ folder for details of errors that may be occurring. See: http://www.zen-cart.com/content.php?124-blank-page

  define('DIR_WS_ADMIN', '/admina/');
  define('DIR_WS_CATALOG', '/zen/');
  define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_ADMIN', '/admina/');
  define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG', '/zen/');

  define('DIR_FS_ADMIN', 'D:/wamp/www/zen/admina/';
  define('DIR_FS_CATALOG', 'D:/wamp/www/zen/');
...

On a stock Zen Cart 1.5.1 install, typically DIR_FS_ADMIN is not explicitly set to a folder in the admin configure.php. It appears yours has been manually changed.

Your configure.php tells Zen Cart the admin folder is web accessible from "/admina/" and your physical location is "/zen/admina/"... If this is intentional, did you configure Apache to alias "/admina/" to "D:/wamp/www/zen/admina/"?

Otherwise if you want to access the Zen Cart admin as "/zen/admina/", then you should change DIR_WS_ADMIN and DIR_WS_HTTPS_ADMIN to match.

Most likely the case... In most WAMP stacks the Apache error log will contain any PHP or Apache errors. In WampServer the server logs are usually located in "/wamp/logs/".

This seems ok, (as far as I would know (which I wouldn't)

I haven't actually got a myDEBUG error

  define('DIR_WS_ADMIN', '/zen/admina/');
  define('DIR_WS_CATALOG', '/zen/');
  define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_ADMIN', '/zen/admina/');
  define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG', '/zen/');

This still causes an error. Actually, I'm thinking... I edited it in wingide, so you get a load of code in those wsadmin settings and I altered it to how it looks now. But is that only for notepad, impossible to read settings... Or is it correct to remove $ signs etc.

Are there any mods needed for wamp in 64bit.
Hmm stuck really.

There was no need to edit the configure.php files manually. ZC will build them correctly simply by running zc_install as per the instructions.

Perhaps you should start there?

+1 You may also want to move the existing configure.php files to a backup location (outside the web server document root). This will ensure Zen Cart generates new ones during the installation.

There should be in the Apache access log a line containing "/zen/admina". If there is not, the request never made it to the web server...

Note: Is your WAMP stack configured for SSL (HTTPS)? If your server is not, make sure during the installation of Zen Cart you do NOT select "enable SSL (HTTPS)". I cannot speak for XAMPP, but WampServer typically requires generation and installation of certificates + enabling mod_ssl or mod_gnutls.

Ok, I got there.
Firstly, by, deleting the zencart database in phpMyAdmin.
Creating a new database.
Installing zencart (I tried 150, but it wasn't that.
---- I didn't edit the table value of admin in phpMyAdmin to Admin A, I just changed the folder name in the windows wamp zen directory.
Then tried to login and it worked.
(I did also make the entire zen folder before installation writable as well.) Now I'll have to adjust it accordingly.

Thanks for the help, it kept me thinking about the steps that I had misread.

Now I can start having problems with the rest of I guess. Fingers crossed. Thanks for the patience.

When installing plugins do the sql patches work with zencart when using wamp?
So for the example the Flexible centre boxes module, I have managed to achieve accessibility to its configuration under the configuration tab in the admin panel, but it doesn't show up on the mainpage. I still have the original 3 new,specials and featured.
