Well I found the problem!!! :clap: All is working now.
I had the Google Base Feeder Mod installed which requires some code to be added at the beginning of the index.php file in the root of the site. For some reason it did not like when I changed the admin folder name and would not allow the front end of the site to display.
I was just getting ready to compare a fresh install to my current site when I realized the index.php file size was different so I uploaded the fresh index.php and there you have it. Everything is working now. Please let me know if there is anything you would like to further post in order to rectify any questions future views may have.
Thanks a ton for your help Kobra! It really makes a world of difference, for us who don't have a lot of knowledge in the scripting world, to know we have a team of willing individuals who are there to help.
