after renaming the admin folder

**jeremiah5615** · 07-19-2011, 07:44 AM

I renamed my admin folder and updated the two lings in configure.php in admin/includes and when I try to go to the log in page (which I assumed would be www.mysite.com/newadminname) the page is just blank. There is no error, just white.

any idea what I did wrong

check your server's error logs.

so I looked at the logs and they are returning a 200 a-ok value. I started playing around with the url and I added login.php to the end and bam I got to the login page...or so I thought. I then tried to log in and everything went well but It sent me to a white screen once again. Could it be that a function or redirection file isn't activating as usual?

ps. I did try to revert the name of the file to admin and changed the config files back, but the same thing was still happening.

Turn on error reporting for admin by changing the following lines in catalog/admin/includes/application_top.php ...

Code:

// Set the level of error reporting
//  error_reporting(E_ALL);
  error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE & ~'E_DEPRECATED');

to

Code:

// Set the level of error reporting
  error_reporting(E_ALL);
//  error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE & ~'E_DEPRECATED');

ie. Switch the commented out lines ... this will display the php error message causing the white screen ... post it back here and we will help you out.

Looks like a session issue ... check your configure and see where you are storing your session ... near the bottom ... (search the forums for exact changes) ... you should be using 'mysql'.

However, 'headers already sent' is normally due to extra white space after the closing ?> in a file ... have you edited anything else (eg. language files?)

configure is storing at mysql.
I just noticed something as I was looking on the forums for information and: (output started at /includes/application_top.php:1): if that means that its running in php version 1, then that might be the issue, since my server is running php
version 5.2.12

if that is true, how would I change that?
