Problems after installing security patch 06 19 2009

hi
I just renamed my admin folder uploaded all the patch files where they were supposed to when I try to log in throuh my new folder name, it doe snot direct me to the admin panel instead I get a 404 Not found eror
any idea?

Did you change your admin/includes/configure.php file to tell it where you have moved your admin to?

You forgot to edit the config file for the admin section.

lol yup, I fixed it, its working now
thx guys :)

Hello,

Got the alert to change everything.

Have never done this before and have no idea how to upload files.

I need some help.

How do I do this?

Im rather techno unsavy.

How do I open "admin/includes/configure.pho?

I uploaded the new files via my FTP software.

Tried to change the admin name and it did not work.

Again I need some help as Im not doing something right.

I changed back as I need access to my admin page.

Can anyone help me with this.

Thanks ahead of time.

Zen Cart 1.3.8a security patch installed.
After installing patch I have a problem with layout boxes.
In 'admin' (renamed to something else) I go to 'tools' - 'layout boxes controller' and choose to turn off 'record_companies' (I am pretty sure it was turned off before patch, but is on now). when I click the 'update' button the page refreshes to 'ststistics' (hit counter etc).
Site does not reflect changes made and if I go back to 'layout boxes controller' the 'off' is again not selected.
Site is fairly basic couple of minor changes.

Is this a bug or am I a TONKA?

Just tried adding a product and that worked, but adding a catagory failed with the same symptoms, when I click the 'save' button the page refreshes to 'ststistics' (hit counter etc).

after renaming your admin folder. you need to reflect that change in your configure.php file . located in admin / includes /

in configure.php file , change any entry that contains the old admin name to new admin name .

Thanks for swift response. Following instructions as fast as possible.:clap:

Had 1 rouge php file in images. Have not found any other changes as listed by Smoke_007

Still unable to apply changes to catagories and boxes layout.
Any more ideas?

Well it seems that I've wasted an entire day on this problem. Finally I got fed up :frusty: with reading and removed just the 4 security_patch_v138_20090619 files (not the html_output.php file) and 'Hey Presto!' all is good with the world.:clap:
I am able to create new catagories and make changes to box layout.:yes:
Installed 4 security pack files again and all works well.
Must have been Gremlins.:huh::blink:
thanks

Where do I change the admin folder in the first place?

I changed everything in admin/includes/configure.php and had no success.

help.

Simple:

1. Use your FTP program to rename the folder.
2. Use your FTP program to download, then edit, then re-upload your /{new admin folder name}/includes/configure.php file to point to the new admin foldername (several parts to edit in the file)

I just checked again and changes (and changed back) the right one
admin/includes/configure.php

I followed the security update. And was able to log into my admin last night. But I had been logged in before I started the update. Today I when I try to get in I get a message login failed. Before I made the changes I was always taken to a log in page. I checked my admin/configure php. and it has been changed to my new name. How do I get back to the log in page? I have checked the email I was sent and I did all steps.
