Admin login page doesn't seem to exist
« on: July 25, 2016, 09:31:31 AM »
I have recently installed AbanteCart and want to start using it right away. However the installation confirmation page link to login to the admin area didn't work. I have searched the forums and Google many times and followed the various suggested paths to access the login page but none of them work. Every single one takes me to the home page of my existing website instead of an AbanteCart login page.

Some of the paths I have tried include:
/index.php?s=[with my username here]
/index.php?s=your_admin
/index.php?s=secretarea

I'm at a complete loss as to how to access the login page for the admin area so I can start using AbanteCart, please help!

Thank you

Hello.
The correct ink to admin is based on what is set during installation process of the AbanteCart.
yourdomainname.com/index.php?s=[your_admin]
 [your_admin] is provided by you during installation and can be located in system/config.php AFTER installation.

Thank you for your reply Basara but the link provided during the installation never worked, as per my previous message - it simply took me to the homepage of my existing website rather than a page where I could login or use AbanteCart.

Yes, I have been including my domain before the "/" of each path, I just prefer not to include it in public posts at present.

I have looked at the config.php file as you suggested but cannot find a path that will work. I have copied the information below in the hope that someone can assist.

I have also tried these paths with no success:
/index.php?s=admin123
/index.php?s=ADMIN_PATH
/index.php?s=asshegoe_aban869

define('ADMIN_PATH', 'admin123');

Hello.

Possibly you have some redirects in the .htaccess file. Try to rename it to whatever name to make sure it is not redirect you and I suggest to contact with your hosting support  :)
