Cannot access admin

[gamenet]

Hi Rob,

I had a look at the DB details in the /admin/includes configure file and they were different, So i did what you said and made sure the DB connection details are defined exactly the same as the public_html/includes configure file. and have uploaded them both again.

But still no good.

I am still unsure where to put the define

define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://www.gamenet.net.au');
define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'http://www.gamenet.net.au');
define('HTTP_CATALOG_SERVER', 'http://www.gamenet.net.au');
define('HTTPS_CATALOG_SERVER', 'http://www.gamenet.net.au');

This is where it is at the moment in the /admin/includes file.
Is this where it should be?

// Define the webserver and path parameters
// HTTP_SERVER is your Main webserver: 'http://www.yourdomain.com');
// HTTPS_SERVER is your Secure webserver: 'http://www.yourdomain.com');
// HTTP_CATALOG_SERVER is your Main webserver: 'http://www.yourdomain.com');
// HTTPS_CATALOG_SERVER is your Secure webserver: 'http://www.yourdomain.com');
define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://www.gamenet.net.au');
define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'http://www.gamenet.net.au');
define('HTTP_CATALOG_SERVER', 'http://www.gamenet.net.au');
define('HTTPS_CATALOG_SERVER', 'http://www.gamenet.net.au');

/*
* URL's for your site will be built via:
* HTTP_SERVER plus DIR_WS_ADMIN or
* HTTPS_SERVER plus DIR_WS_HTTPS_ADMIN or
* HTTP_SERVER plus DIR_WS_CATALOG or
* HTTPS_SERVER plus DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG
* ...depending on your system configuration settings

Thanks!

What you have posted are the same files

BOTH the store side version

The admin file is different and if you have over wrote it with the store side version this is why you are having issues

You will have to get - - rebuild the proper admin version
