[SOLVED] URL /admin/ was not found on this server

[j12will12]

I am new to PrestaShop, I did a fresh install of the latest version with no problem.  Since it is a new install and I have not configured my store yet, I went into maintenance to set the shop offline.  I did that, but now I can't get back into the backoffice admin.

 

I get a message that says URL /admin/ was not found on the server.

hello

 

prestashop doesn't allow to use /admin/ directory.

after installation you should see something like:

 

"to log in to back office use /adminXXXX"

where XXXX is a number - prestashop creates it randomly

 

if you missed this message - use FTP connection

log in to your hosting account and browse root dir of your shop.

search for directory with pattern adminXXXX - then just open it in your browser
