Cannot access admin

[Website Rob]

In post #12 of this thread you posted your "admin/includes/configure.php" file and yet, the image shows no such file. Either find the previous one and upload it or upload the default one; which is named "dist-configure.php" and you rename it.

That was throwdown. I will upload the default one. Where can i find it? Thanks!

You should always have a default copy of any script being used on the site. If you don't have one for Zen Cart you can get one using the Download link on the Home page of this site: http://zen-cart.com/

I continue to get the same error on my includes/configure.php file of [a fatal error or timeout occurred while processing this directive]

everytime I try to go back in and save. I try to change the permissions before hand but they don't seem to save. Could that be the issue (although they somehow worked when I saved it to true for enable ssl).

At this point, I just need to be able to access my admin area again.

Oh and if anyone is able to help I'd be more than happy to buy you a cup of coffee, a case of beer, etc.

Thanks!

Okay Sir, I have now downloaded the default dis-configure file for /admin/includes.
I renamed it the file configure.php
This whole problem started when I redirected my url to include the www. And I was told I need to change both configure files.
My URL is http://www.gamenet.net.au/
If you, or anyone could put my URL where it is needed I will be eternally great-full.

Thanks in advance!

Finally!! I had not removed all the files from IH2.... It was causing errors that caused my admin to fail. I have to redo some things, but it is worth it now that I can get into the backend...

Thanks

Throwdown ... reload your file:
/admin/index.php

NOTE: if your real Admin directory is:
/fred

load the file:
/fred/index.php
