How do I get to the Admin

How do I Access the Admin functions of Zencart? Where do i log in or what ever for administration.
Thanks
:lamo:

Go to your browser, type in the address to your store and then add /admin on the end.

it says connection was refused.:sleepy:

Did you install this or did you have someone else install it,

also try going into ftp and checking on the permissions on the admin folder

what should the permission settings be set too?
i installed it myself on a 1&1 server. i don't know if that has anything to do with it. once i get to the admin stuff is it easy to set up shop? i have about 16,000 items to set up shop for.

Once you get into the admin Yes,
try setting it to 755 quick,

<< isnt gonna say anything about 1 & 1 other than do a search through here for them in your spare time

is that your way of saying suck *** service?

i have about 16,000 items to set up shop for.
Best to get a tool to populate the DB like ezpopulate or NaviCat as 16,000 will consume time just typing

have navicat but all this is new to me. i really don't even know where to begin. i just got a business license back in december(with tax id number). i have a whole saler lined up. i'm ready to get it all started just having trouble getting my head in the game because i don't know where to begin.
thanks for the advise on navicat and ezpopulate. of the two which would you say is better? i guess me being a newbie here i should be directing all my questions to the search button. :D

ezpopulate is more tuned to Zen Cart and limited.

NaviCat is powerful bit one needs to understand the DB structure first, then scripts/actions can be saved for the repetive things

so ezpopulate is pretty dummy proof?

also in http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showthread.php?t=48310&highlight=1%261
they said they cleared the cookies for thier site and 1and1 let them log in. where would these cookies be? thanks for all your time and patience almighty gurus.

try hitting control F5 on your keyboard, if this dosnt work,
in your browsers toolbar hit tools, then choose internet connections,
you will see a button to clear cookies, and one to clear history,

Just clear cookies, then close browser window and re-open it

so ezpopulate is pretty dummy proof?
I am SOOO Dumb that they have not made something that I can not break

LOL i guess 1&1 wants me to work to not pay for their commerce engine. bastards. well so far nothing i'm doing is working. so once i can log in the zencart is pretty easy? no mysql database knowlege or php knowlege nessacery?

no mysql database knowlege or php knowlege nessacery?
Not knowledge of how to code a database...but a general understanding of tables, records and DB function never hurts.

I know that 1&1 is large, but you might look at the Zen Cart Certified hosts as they all are dedicated to Zen Cart and can provide a more personal assistance for the basics. And this can be truly beneficial in the long run

i took database and design i know the principles(doesn't mean i can spell it) to some degree. i like the oneandone price. but i think it's going to take forever to figure out how to make all this work together on their set up. is there a certain way they set the servers to make it so difficult? i'm sure its cause they want you to buy their engine with the 500 items or less package or pay out the butt for more items. the only reason i picked them is because i religously read wired magazine and thats advertised through out the every magazine. :yuck:

if any one with the same problem has an answer or anyone of great knowlege of Zen could post anything that could help it would make me smile. thanks

mr. kobra commander there is the stuff. if you guys haven't got a host yet use him. he knows whats up and is very nice to work with. i can't begin to say all the nice things about him. he is a very nice guy and has helped me a lot. thanks kobra.

For those that might find this post and wonder what the issue that ElitedgeElectronics had was:

During the install the use SSL was selected and I theorize that this might have also been edited to use ssl for store and admin access in the configure.php files.

Well there was no SSL and a "Can't Load this Page Error" was generated, not being able to shift to a secure connection.

Reset ssl in admin and catalog to false from true and viola!

Here:```
define('ENABLE_SSL_CATALOG', 'false');
define('ENABLE_SSL_ADMIN', 'false');
