Re: Admin page not found after moving to new server

That's a common result of an incorrectly-edited /admin/includes/configure.php file. ie: paths are wrong in the file.
And, that's often because you tried to edit a read-only file and thus your changes didn't save.

That's why the recommended procedure for moving from host to host includes doing a clean fresh install to build the proper configure.php files for the new server, and then preserving those files when copying the original site over. Hence the written tutorial on the topic: https://www.zen-cart.com/tutorials/index.php?article=100

Re: Admin page not found after moving to new server

tried editing /admin_dim/
Once you square this, go back and re-name your admin folder as you have posted it openly for all to see...
