Renaming admin.php causes 404. Already tried clearing cache

Store Builder Questions
1

I switched my admin.php to admin123.php and cleared cache, followed instructions directly on knowledge base.



Now when I go to mysite.com/admin.php it redirects me to this address

[url]http://mysite.com/admin123.php?dispatch=auth.login_form&return_url=admin123.php[/url]



Which returns a 404 error.



And when i go to mysite.com/admin123.php, it doesn’t redirect or anything, but still returns a 404 error.



So frustrated, any ideas what it could be?

Did you make changes in the config.local.php file as well?

In order to rename your admin script properly you should do the follwoing:


  • Rename the “admin.php” file located in the root directory of your CS-Cart installation.
  • Edit the “config.local.php” file (it is located in the same directory) by replacing the following line of the code:



    $config[‘admin_index’] = ‘admin.php’;





    with this one:



    $config[‘admin_index’] = ‘admin8765.php’;





    where admin8765.php is the new name given to the “admin.php” file.
  • Save the file.
  • Clean up the template cache. In order to do it open this link in your browser: http://www.your_domain.com/admin.php?cc where www.your_domain.com is the address of your store. Before cleaning the templates cache you should be logged in to the administration panel of your store.



    Please note: the link to your administration panel will be changed from http://www.your_domain.com/admin.php to http://www.your_domain.com/admin8765.php where www.your_domain.com is the address of your store.







    hope it helped :slight_smile:

Please try renaming the var/cache directory of your CS-Cart installation instead.
