Logging in to Admin Panel

I just installed Zen Cart and am unable to find the correct URL for accessing the admin panel. Can someone help me?

Thank you!

Re: Logging in to Admin Panel

If you manually installed it - - You needed to read the last set of instryctions on having to rename your admin flder from /admin to something more obscure and editing your admin configure.php file to reflect this

Thank you Kobra. I installed it via Fantastico on my hosting site. I will follow your link and see what I can find there. Thanks, again.

I installed it via Fantastico
I believe that install script remanes it as /zc_admin

Not very secure as hackers will be checking that one as they know what fantastico does
