Problems opening the admin section

Hello,

I have problems opening my admin section. First it worked fine and after a few hours I suddenly couldn't acces it anymore. I modified the configure file after this but it did not help. So i reinstalled the complete package. Then again for the first few hours it was fine again but now I can't approach it... Anyone had this happen before?

Thanks,

Marcel

Maybe there is something wrong in the configure?

These are wrong ...

They should be:

  define('DIR_WS_CATALOG', '/');
  define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_ADMIN', '4dm1n1str4t0r/');
  define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG', '/');

NOTE: since you told everyone your secret Admin directory name ... :eek: be sure to change it and re-do the file:
/your_secret_admin_dir/includes/configure.php

thanks.. no worries it's not the secret name ;)

Ain't you the sneaky one ... :cool:

It's still not working.. it loads for a while and than I get a plain white page.

If you are using Zen Cart v1.3.9, look in the:
/cache

directory and refresh it to see the debug logs that are there ...

Like duh ... typo here ...

Try this instead:

  define('DIR_WS_ADMIN', '/4dm1n1str4t0r/');
  define('DIR_WS_CATALOG', '/');
  define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_ADMIN', '/4dm1n1str4t0r/');
  define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG', '/');

I lost one of the slashes in there ...

Thanks, still not working with the extra slash..

Getting this error in the cache.

Found the solution... I forgot to copy the dutch admin files into the admin dir..

Thanks again

Fussy eh? :smile:
