Can't access admin panel at all

Twitchin Kitten,
The error says: includes/configure.php file contents invalid. ie: DIR_FS_CATALOG not valid or not set

in your configure.php

define('DIR_FS_CATALOG', '/var/www/clients/client2/web3/web/');

is it possible that your path needs to say web10 like the one below?

define('DIR_FS_SQL_CACHE', '/var/www/clients/client2/web10/web/cache/');

Thank you! That was it.

Looking at lines of this stuff makes me dizzy sometimes and when BOTH files were exactly the same, AND the cart itself was working, it got me confused, which isn't very hard to do!
I had to edit this line in BOTH config files. Now the login page shows.

Thank you everyone. The help was very much appreciated.

Check the following definition in /YOUR_ADMIN/includes/configure.php:

//the following path is a COMPLETE path to your Zen Cart files. eg: /var/www/vhost/accountname/public_html/store/
  define('DIR_FS_CATALOG', '/var/www/clients/client2/web3/web/');

Does it contain exactly the same setting as the like-named definition in /includes/configure.php?

Thank you! That was it.

Sometimes, it's hard to see the tree for the forest!
