Hello,

 

I wanted to rename my Admin directory to something else. I replaced all the "admin" word I could find in the admin/includes/configure.php

 

Now, when I try to access it, I get a

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/usename/public_html/cart/whatsup/includes/configure.php on line 13

 

Could anybody please help? I tried looking for anything I may have omitted or missed, but no luck so far.

I'm new to all of this, so I apologize if this is a dumb question.

 

Here is part of the script:

 

define('DIR_FS_DOCUMENT_ROOT', '/home/username/public_html'); // where the pages are located on the server

 

define('DIR_WS_WHATSUP', '/cart/whatsup/'); // absolute path required

 

define('DIR_FS_WHATSUP', '/home/username/public_html/cart/whatsup/'); // absolute path required

 

define('DIR_WS_CATALOG', '/cart/'); // absolute path required

 

define('DIR_FS_CATALOG', '/home/username/public_html/cart/'); // absolute path required

 

define('DIR_WS_IMAGES', 'images/');

 

 

I'd greatly appreciate it! :blush:

Did you actually change WS_ADMIN to WS_WHATSUP? If you did, that is a problem. The only thing you need to change is the path names. Should be like

 

define('DIR_WS_ADMIN','/cart/whatsup/')

Hi Avec,

 

Thank you so much for the reply. I changed the part back to ADMIN, but it still comes up with the same Parse Error.... Did I really screw things up? I didn't back up the file before doing this, am I screwed?

 

Sweetndesign, I'm sorry I can't help you. I hope somebody else will respond. I'm completely new to all of this.

 

If anybody could help, I would really really appreciate it!

In includes/languages/english/index.php remove all of the default text and line 13 should look like this:

 

define('TEXT_MAIN', '');

 

then you can change it like so:

 

define('TEXT_MAIN', 'Put some new text here');

 

If you enter text which uses apostrophies then take note of this:

 

Let's = wrong

Let\'s = right

 

Else you'll get a parse error.

Take a look in the Tips & Tricks Forum and you should find a thread on how to set up your configure.php files. In your configure.php file a Parse Error message usually means you've missed out an opening or closing apostrophy somewhere.
