Shopping Cart Operations > Security
Access to admin directory is Error 403 Forbidden
ArcherData:
My site has been in operation since August 28, 2016. Orders have been processed and things have been great. No AbanteCart update has been applied since installation.
When I go to admin, I get an Error 403 Forbidden and I am returned to the storefront.
I have attached the pertinent logs, error messages, etc. since I cannot figure out what this system considers "external links."
In addition, there's an installation of WordPress in a subdirectory beside / store / with it's own .htaccess which is not included here.

This part:
When I go to: http://www.gowiththefloprods.com/store/admin/
You setup a secret link to the admin area during install. Look at system/config.php and the admin "folder" is defined here
define('ADMIN_PATH', 'xxxx_xxxx');
Replace admin with admin path like this and you should be able to get in:
http://www.gowiththefloprods.com/store/xxxx_xxxx/

I was so hoping it was something simple like this ... but it didn't work. Is the admin folder supposed to also be renamed to match?
ArcherData:
When I use the secret name in the URL, I get: "The page you requested cannot be found" in the storefront.
digitalt:
No. It's a security thing. Your admin URL should look something like this with the ADMIN_PATH being the last part with the X's:
http://www.gowiththefloprods.com/store/index.php?rt=index/login&s=xxxx_xxxx
It's a built in redirect.
Once you're in, check system-->settings-->store details to make sure you Store URL points to the correct URL http://www.gowiththefloprods.com/store/
EDIT---> Take out the &s if you are not using SSL.
