hallo friends,

 

i have a big problem. the following steps i did to install the shop:

 

i have used the installation (www.myname.com/catalog/install/) everything went.

now i can surf to the shop (frontend).

 

then i renamed the ''admin'' folder an i changed the ''.htaccess''

then i changed the password in the ''.htpasswd'' and the ''includes/configure.php'' i changed the ''define('DB_SERVER_USERNAME', 'myusername');'' and ''define('DB_SERVER_PASSWORD', 'mypassword');''

 

but i have no entry by using the name and the password, why? where can be the problems?

it also doesn't work with the folder-name ''admin''

 

perhaps the reason is the path to the database-server. i use a shared server (hosting with a provider) can somebody give me a enxample for the database-server?

 

thanks.

To change the name of the admin directory you also need to edit the admin/includes/configure.php to point to that new directory name. The userid and password for the database is different then that defined in .htaccess.

 

To get the info on your database you need to talk to your host.

 

To get to the admin just go to http://www.yoursite.com/catalog/admindirname

 

If you have the .htaccess file set up properly, you will get a prompt for your userid and password.

The problem is your htaccess file for the admin

 

Delete this and recreate it.
