Admin login nightmare [solved]

[handcoded]

Hi

After doing a fresh install of Prestashop 1.1 I got stuck at the upload image part on step 4. The image uploaded but for some reason or other I couldn't get to the final step. The problem with this is that my admin user does not get added to the database.

The solution is to just navigate to http://www.my-domain-here/admin
The login screen should appear. If not browse this forum for a solution.
You may be asked to delete and rename the admin folder via FTP

Go to your phpmyadmin or whatever you use to administer your database and run this remembering to change the email address before hand

INSERT INTO `ps_employee` VALUES (1, 1, 'ADMIN', 'Admin', '[email protected]', '81d38dcb8f988e952cd66ba6c02871f4', '1970-01-02 02:00:00', 1);

You can now use the forgot password link on the admin login screen to get a new password and start building your shop.

Hi Handcoded, perhaps you could help me I have started to develop my site in a subfolder of my exisiting site and want to now change the subfolder name from "www.mysite.com/prestashop" and "www.mysite.com/prestashop/admin" to a new totally dedicated domain "www.mypr4estashop.com" and "www.myprestashop.com/admin"

I have renamed them via ftp etc but still cannot get access to the admin side. Do you have any ideas I know this is probably a simple thing but I am learing as I go along.

Thanks
John
