Please contact your hosting provider. On some servers, Apache is configured to ignore some or all directives in .htaccess files.

As mentioned in my original post, I am running the web site on my own PC for testing purposes, using Apache, and Xampp. So for now, I can access the admin pages without using a .htaccess file, so we can consider this issue 'Closed'.

Thanks.

Partial success!!

I discovered that the default .htaccess file was prevent my browser(s) from accessing the admin pages. I have temporarily renamed the file, and now I can see access the Admin functions as I should. But.. (big BUT), does anyone have a correct .htaccess file I can use? I don't want to leave this thing wide open.

Thanks in advance...

Thanks for the quick reply...

I should have mentioned that I have tried using both Chrome and IE. Both show the same results. I have a attached a snapshot of how the display looks once logged in, as well as the initial admin log in.

Strange, huh??  The demo web site works perfectly, as do my 'other' Xampp test sites. Any further thoughts?

Thanks

New to Abantecart, but familiar with PCs, networking, and MySQL.

I downloaded ver 1.2 twice, and can view the demo website with no problems. I have a testbed set up on a Windows PC, with Xampp. I have other database applications running successfully on Xammp, and find it to be a good 'lab' for testing.

After I downloaded the zip file, I opened it with WinZip. All the files unpacked, but I noticed a few of them had an error in writing the 'date', but other than that, the file looked intact.

The demo store runs fine, and looks great! When I try to log in to the admin page, there is no graphical GUI, just a few fields of text to log in. I am able to log in successfully, but again, all I see is a single column of text fields on the left hand side of the screen. I am able to click on some of the labels (topics), and they do seem to accept data, and bring me to another 'screen'. The new screen is also just a text screen, no GUI.

As mentioned above, I tried downloading the program twice, and have 'unzipped' the files at least 4 times now, with the same result. I'm obviously overlooking something pretty basic, but I don't see it. I have used the search function on this site for over an hour, but I cannot find a solution.

Any clues would be appreciated!!  Thanks.
