Error Message After Renaming Admin Folder

I recently renamed my admin folder to secure my site. The admin section of my store works fine; however, when I go to shop.thebricktongroup.com I get the following message:

Warning: require(DIR_WS_TEMPLATEStemplate_default/common/html_header.php) [function.require]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/.frowsy/bgroup01/shop.thebricktongroup.com/index.php on line 43

Fatal error: require() [function.require]: Failed opening required 'DIR_WS_TEMPLATEStemplate_default/common/html_header.php' (include_path='.:/usr/local/php5/lib/php') in /home/.frowsy/bgroup01/shop.thebricktongroup.com/index.php on line 43

I had a similar, but slightly different error message before after I had deleted my template_default folder by mistake. However, this time the template_default folder appears to be in good order.

Any suggestions on what I should do? I'm pretty stumped.

Thanks,

Nate

Re: Error Message After Renaming Admin Folder

The error message is telling you where to look:

Warning: require(DIR_WS_TEMPLATEStemplate_default/common ...

Check your shop/includes/config.php file: - 'DIR_WS_TEMPLATES' is not being defined.

It should look like:

define('DIR_WS_TEMPLATES', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'templates/');

... and that suggests that you may have introduced a typo in your admin configure.php file when you edited it ... perhaps you didn't close a define() statement properly, or maybe your FTP upload of the changes is incomplete, etc.

Re: Error Message After Renaming Admin Folder

I'm getting an opposite error, where my shop is working but I can't get into the admin area... My error is:

Warning: require(../../zen-cart-v1.3.7-full-fileset-12302006/admin/includes/application_top.php) [function.require]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/windowam/public_html/store/admin/index.php on line 23

Fatal error: require() [function.require]: Failed opening required '../../zen-cart-v1.3.7-full-fileset-12302006/admin/includes/application_top.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/windowam/public_html/store/admin/index.php on line 23

I don't know if I should be changing things in the application_top file though...

Re: Error Message After Renaming Admin Folder

no if you renamed the admin folder then you will need to open the admin/includes/configure.php and redefine the three places that show /admin/
to / whatever you renamed to/

Re: Error Message After Renaming Admin Folder

Dr Byte helped me out with my answer in this thread http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showthread.php?t=66001, but basically my problem was I allowed Dreamweaver to update my paths automatically and incorrectly when I changed the admin folder name...
