Admin folder rename problem with upgrade

I upgraded to the latest version of zencart, 1.39h and had to change my admin folder name with this latest upgrade in order to access my admin page. I had attempted to do so before without success before the upgrade, but didn't have a choice with this one.

I followed the instructions for updating the admin folder, but now I can't access my admin. The page went to the

"Hello. Thank you for loading Zen Cart™.
You are seeing this page for one or more reasons:
This is your first time using Zen Cart™ and you haven't yet completed the normal Installation procedure... etc.

I changed it all back to the way it was, but still can't access the admin site. Help.

Explain the steps your followed or the tutorial you followed to attempt this please...

are you using a test folder? www.yoursite.com/test
and within this is Zen Cart?

There are only 3 edits in the admin configure.php that are required

Say it currently reads, in order of appearance

define('DIR_WS_ADMIN', '/[B]admin[/B]/');
define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_ADMIN', '/[B]admin[/B]/');
define('DIR_FS_ADMIN', '/home/account/public_html/[B]admin[/B]/');

you just remane the admin directory with FTP and change the 3 entries to match

So if the new directory name is "secret"(note all lowercase)but not required just so long as they match

define('DIR_WS_ADMIN', '/[B]secret[/B]/');
define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_ADMIN', '/[B]secret[/B]/');
define('DIR_FS_ADMIN', '/home/account/public_html/[B]secret[/B]/');

"account" is your account name whatever that is
And yours maybe htdocs or something else versus public_html depending upon your server
Should be simple and no magic

I followed the steps on the tutorial that reads "How do I rename my Admin folder to prevent unauthorized access?". I'm pretty sure I changed it as instructed. I did change it back to read "admin" when it didn' work, instead of the new folder name, but cannot access it. I don't know what to do next.

Send me your FTP credentials via a private message if you want

You have to change the permissions on the folder first to edit the configure.php 444 to 644 or 777

I was going to copy and paste the configure.php but cannot get to it now. I am getting this message on my ftp server.
Response: 550 configure.php: Permission denied
Error: Critical file transfer error

kobra, sent you my ftp credentials. Thanks!

All Done

Thank you so much! I don't know what I did, but I am very grateful!
