Cannot Access Admin Area After Renaming

I renamed my Admin folder and updated configure.php and uploaded it and I still cannot access the Admin area. The new URL gives "Page Not Found" (using my custom 404) and the old URL gives a default 404 page...I've re-uploaded several times...I don't know what the problem is...

Edit:

Apparently it doesn't like my .htaccess file:

This is all it has in it:

#.htaccess to prevent unauthorized directory browsing or access to .php files
  IndexIgnore */*
  <Files *.php>
   Order Deny,Allow
   Deny from all
  </Files>

 #add the following to protect against people discovering what version your spiders.txt file is
  <Files *.txt>
   Order Deny,Allow
   Deny from all
  </Files>

But you can still access the store area?

Get Em Fast:

Did you update BOTH configure.php files?

includes/configure.php
admin/includes/configure.php

Of course the admin will be whatever you named your admin folder to.

There isn't any admin reference in the non-admin configure, as far as I could tell?

Yeah I can access the store, with the exception being that the sideboxes don't display on the home page. I couldn't access the store when I had the .htaccess file enabled.

Oops.........thought I had got that edited before it was seen.......please disregard, as that was one of those "brain-fart" moments.

Haha no problem. Happens to us all sometimes.

Is the .htaccess file in question located in your admin dir. ?

You can test if your Admin .htaccess file is the problem by renaming it and seeing if you have access.

If yes then you will need to include access for your IP.

#.htaccess to prevent unauthorized directory browsing or access to .php files
IndexIgnore /

<Files *.php>
Order Deny,Allow
Deny from all
Allow from xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
</Files>

Awesome, that worked. Thanks! :clap:
