Help - my admin/configuration vanished

I just updated my Zen cart to the latest version and everything went fine until I tried to access my admin area and it wouldnt allow me to do that until I changed the name of it.
I renamed my admin folder, and in the includes php file but now when i log into the new admin area everything works ok BUT my entire "configuration" list does not. Every thing I click under it takes me to a page not found.
I don't know if it was the update or the admin name change that went wrong......can someone PLEASE help me? :unsure:

Thank you SO much!!

I don't know what needs crossing out as you mentioned...so i posted as it is - I see no security issues with it but I may be wrong and if so then it sucks to be me....

Post contents removing/x-out db detail of the admin configure.php file
configure.php not configuration.php

ok then that is my issue - wth have I done LOL

That IS my configure.php file

admin/configure.php

what file is it you want me to post

admin/configure.php does not exist

I only have
admin/includes/configure.php
or
includes/configure.php

I renamed my admin folder, and in the includes php file but now when i log into the new admin area everything works ok BUT my entire "configuration" list does not
Well you should not even be able to load admin without one

Double check at
/your new admin folder/includes/configure.php

kobra:

Double check at
/your new admin folder/includes/configure.php

Yes I have that...

I went back into my older versions of zen and I never had a configure.php file in my admin folder...only configuration.php

admin/includes/configure.php is that the one you want me to post?

admin/includes/configure.php is that the one you want me to post?
Yes, with new admin folder name and db details X'ed out

Assuming that you have your new admin folder spelled correctly/matching what exists on the server this looks correct

In sure it is in the correct lcation

What is any error message do you get?

I can log into my admin section using the link
http://ljgdesign.com/XXXXXX/

it is all there and the links work but when i click the header "configuration" and the drop down menu appears, I go to click on an item in that menu and i get

The webpage cannot be found

Most likely causes:

• There might be a typing error in the address.

• If you clicked on a link, it may be out of date. What you can try:

  ** Retype the address. **

  Go back to the previous page.

  ** Go to and look for the information you want. **

  Hell I am so frustrated right now I may just delete the whole darn thing and start again - I have no idea what happened.

kobra, I got it!!!!!!!

I had a friend helping me also and she found a post that I didn't on this forum. I had spend yesterday and this morning trying so hard to fix it and it was right there all along.

This was what she found.....
> This is what happened in my case. When I uploaded zen to my webspace, the configuration.php file did not transmit correctly. What was on my server was a blank file. I was not able to access any of the configuration files. Then I deleted configuration.php on my server. Got the message file not found. Why was it blank on the server? So I went to my original zen folder on my my computer and opened up configuration.php and it was full of code. Good thing! Re-uploaded this one file to the server to replace the blank corrupt one. Voila! Fixed the problem. I can now access my configuration selections in my admin
So I checked my files and the configuration.php wasn't even uploaded into my admin file. It WAS there and was blank but then vanished (likely my hand) so now it is there and it works.

THANK YOU KOBRA for taking your time to try and help me - you have no idea how much i appreciate it!!!!

Try pasting what is in red after your admin folder
