new Install - no admin login prompt

Hi, just did a new install of 1.3.9 and when I got to my admin area URL, I don't get a logon window, but only a few character (with the first two characters of my logon name...very weird)
help please!

manually?
Some install script?

Re: new Install - no admin login prompt

Hi,
I installed manually, using Dreamweaver as ftp client, renamed the admin folder after install. I changed the permissions and altered filenames via Cpanel.
There is no error message, only a page with
ededededededed
in the body and in the source when I go to the admin/index.php file that normally gives me the log on prompt.
I wiped it, and tried again with the same result.

I suggest that you throw Dreamweaver in the trash, at least for working on ZenCart and any other php application

Get a Real FTP client and a good code editor

Re: new Install - no admin login prompt

I'll give that a try and use FileZilla or the command line utility and let you know the outcome.
thanks, Edvon

Re: new Install - no admin login prompt

Thanks Kobra!
worked when uploaded with Filezilla, won't throw Dreamweaver in the trash just yet, but will not use it again to do a zencart upload :smile:
