no Admin page appears after new install

[houseoftea]

Hi,

I just did a new install on my server, clicked on ...store(?) and got the store, but clicking on Admin gets me only a blank page.

I looked in my catalog/admin directory and there's no admin.php there.

Is this file created at new install, or should it be there from the get-go?

 

thanks

Just to clarify...

 

This is at the very end of the installation process when you are shown the buttons to either go to your newly created store, or to the admin page for the new store.

The new store shows up at localhost/catalog, but I get the blank page at localhost/catalog/admin

 

I now realize there is no actual admin.php file.

The page I get is blank with no error messages or other text whatsoever.

 

thanks

OK, found the solution in another post:

 

in

/catalog/admin/includes/classses/upload.php

 

find all instances of:

$this

 

and replace them with:

$th_s

 

From what I understand, I need to make this change because I'm using PHP5 rather than PHP4(?).

I don't understand why this change works or is needed, so don't ask me!

 

Once I made this change, I was able to get an Admin page just fine.
