I set the admin url during installation and I've checked in the /system/config.php file to make sure it is correct and it is. ".htaccess.txt" has been renamed to ".htaccess". When trying to go to the admin URL, I get directed to the storefront instead of admin. I've noticed the only way to get the admin login to load, is if I add "?s=admin" to the end of the url.
If I leave the .htaccess with .txt extension, it will give me a not found error.
IF you removed .txt and your storefront is working fine then I don't thing there is a problem with htaccess
Just to make sure you are hitting /index.php?s=admin right? or just ?s=admin
The storefront is fine either way. However, should the page not redirect itself by just putting /admin? From looking into the config.php file it says it will use ?s=name to access the admin. Are we meant to manually type that portion of the URL or no?
Hi, you will need to type the admin URL manually. AFAIK it will not automatically redirect the URL by putting /admin.

This made for security reasons - in other Shopping Carts anyone can access your admin side and try to crack it.
In AbanteCart your admin is secure with unique admin so only you can access it.
