Title: Where is my "ADMIN?
Post by: mr lon on September 25, 2014, 04:51:31 PM

I have my store in a folder called "store" and I can't log into my admin? I try /store/admin/ and I get this "Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /store/admin/ on this server."

So them I try /store/admin/admin.php and I get "Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /store/admin/admin.php on this server." What is up with this?

The URL will be in this format:
http://www.yourdomainname.com/index.php?s=your_admin (http://www.yourdomainname.com/index.php?s=your_admin) where yourdomainname.com is the name of your new online store. This brings you to your Admin Login Panel:
If you don't remember the password you used -  then try using the password reset using the email address you used during setup.

If you intalled using Softaculous you should have gotten an email with all the information necessary to access Admin and storefront,  check your spam folder in case it was sent there.


Here's the quick start doc that will help:

PS:  a quick browser thru the documentation will make it faster to get going with this great cart.

this instruction assumes that you did NOT change the user name when you installed but used the default.  If you did change your username,  replace 'your_admin' with whatever you used when you installed.

.eg  if you set user to be mystuff   then the log in would be
http://www.yourdomainname.com/index.php?s=mystuff

rather you can use www or not,  is a server side setting, not a cart issue.

Nothing works for me I have tried everything, I'll just delete it and clear the database and reinstall it.
The admin login the way we have to do is goofy for sure!  :(
