Admin log in

Hello all.

Yesterday I installed Zen Cart without any problems.
I even changed some things in the admin area so I have been there.
But today, suddenly I wasn't able to reach the admin login page. After some searching I tried several options like changing the htaccess to htaccess_bak. No change there. In IE I get a HTTP 500 error and Firefox stays empty.

I did change the admin-folder name and changed the configure folder. (I will change it again before making it a functional store)

Is some-one able to figure out what's wrong here, because I can't :mellow:

After you made these changes, did you clear your browsers' cache and delete all your cookies?

Hi,

Yes I removed them from both IE and Firefox.

Well, your configure.php file looks fine, unless you have a database prefix?

define('DB_DATABASE', '#####_zencart');

See, the #####....... looks like you may have, yet it doesn't show in:

define('DB_PREFIX', '');

Compare the prefix to your includes/configure.php

I included the pre-fix in the databasename.
I just changed it so I seperated the prefix from the database name and it just gave me another error:
0 DB_ERROR_NOT_CONNECTED
in:
[db_cache table]
If you were entering information, press the BACK button in your browser and re-check the information you had entered to be sure you left no blank fields.

This is what I did:

define('DB_TYPE', 'mysql');
define('DB_PREFIX', 'smedent1_');
define('DB_SERVER', 'localhost');
define('DB_SERVER_USERNAME', '#####');
define('DB_SERVER_PASSWORD', '#####');
define('DB_DATABASE', 'zencart');
define('USE_PCONNECT', 'false');

Yea, I see that. Make sure that EVERYTHING is those lines match up in both configure.php files.
Each entry in these fields should be IDENTICAL.

define('DB_TYPE', 'mysql');
define('DB_PREFIX', '');
define('DB_SERVER', 'localhost');
define('DB_SERVER_USERNAME', '########');
define('DB_SERVER_PASSWORD', '#########');
define('DB_DATABASE', '#####_zencart');
define('USE_PCONNECT', 'false');
define('STORE_SESSIONS', 'db');

Your site is working, so don't change anything in that configure.php

Also, you have it shown that you renamed your Admin to peer. Make SURE that the folder name is EXACTLY that, remembering that it IS case sensitive.

This is the other-one.

I just can't spot anything wrong with it.
And the folder is called "peer" without capitals.

I just did a check on the database and it says all is "OK"

I feel it's going to cost me less time to just start over with it all, the way it's going...

Could it have anything to do with the Dutch language files?

I mean, are there any other factors playing a role except the database and the two config files?

I just started over with the whole thing. I'll let you know what happends

Oh, I got a little busy with a customer. Sorry I didn't get back sooner. I'm sure it would have worked out sooner or later.......

Anyway........yea........let us know how it goes.
