Can't access admin - says I haven't installed it yet?

I've been trying to install Zen Cart for several days now and can't get it to work. I've went through the installation instructions and everything seemed to work. But when I try to access the admin section it won't let me, it takes me to a page as if I haven't installed it yet. Please help!!

https://www.cornholebagstore.com is the domain, the path to the admin file is: https://www.cornholebagstore.com/catalog/baggo

Thank you in advance for any help you can give me.

wat happens when you rename baggo back to admin?

Most often, the reason that page displays is explanation #2 - the path information in admin/includes/configure.php is wrong. When you renamed your admin folder, did you edit all three instances in the configure file ?

I changed all three locations. I also tried changing it back to admin, and I still get the same thing.

When installing, the only thing I didn't really understand was the path for the local host. I used /www/catalog/admin because that is the path on the server, but could that be what is wrong?

Maybe I need to start the install over?

Thank you for all of your help.

I would if I were you. Other than changing the admin folder name, I've never had to manually edit a configure.php file. The installer should set all that stuff for you.

In the url you posted in the first message, if I change the last baggo to be index.php I see the store.

I do not see admin if I go to https://www.cornholebagstore.com/catalog/baggo/index.php
