Able to see storefront but Can't Access Admin Area...

First of all, thanks for your help with the countless problems that pop up in these forums (I have read through quite a few of them). I'm sure that my problem has been addressed somewhere in this immense place, so forgive me for my redundancy.

I have a site hosted with Dreamhost and I decided to install Zen Cart. I decided not to use the One Click Install and instead downloaded the program from the zen cart website and uploaded it via FTP. I followed all the directions in the docs section (made new configure.php files, chmod to 777, etc...) and got to the final page with links to the storefront and the admin area. Here's the problem. I'm able to see the storefront but I can't access the admin area. This is what I see instead...a 404 error. I've tried my luck at this four times now, but each time I try something goes wrong. I've seen it mentioned that the paths I specified in the installer might be incorrect, but I'm not sure how to go about and fix that. If there's any html you need to see to diagnose this please let me know what it is. Thanks!

-Josh

P.S. On another note, when I go to the site it lists a "Parent Directory" instead of automatically detected the php file. The instructions mentioned something about asking the hosting company about this. Has anyone had this problem with Dreamhost?

Re: Able to see storefront but Can't Access Admin Area...

Hmm...when I click the button on the final page of the installer that says "Click here to go to the Store" I now get this text...

**Not Found

The requested URL /zen-cart-v1.3.7-full-fileset-12302006/zc_install/://store.lchsrocketeers.com/index.php was not found on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.**

Does this mean anything?
