How to access admin on locally installed PrestaShop 1.6

[enquire]

Hi,

 

I have installed PrestaShop 1.6 locally into my computer using Bitnami.

 

It seems that everything went well as I seem to be able to access PrestaShop by typing

ip address /prestashop

and I get the Prestashop default-theme. 

 

However I have no idea how to access the admin area (or whatever the area is called) to start adding things like logo, and changing the existing images and info etc.

 

Any advise would be appreciated.

 

Many Thanks

after installation PrestaShop asked you to rename the admin fodler and delete installation folder.

 

so you would navigate to back office by using the loaclhost/shopfoldername/adminfoldername.

 

for example:  localhost/1562java/admin1562java

After I installed PrestaShop via Bitnami, I have not installed PrestaShop with the auto-install (like I did when I uploaded ps originally to my server). 

 

I don't know how to do the auto-install when all I have is to acess ps on my computer info   

ip/prestashop

which takes me to ps default-theme.

 

Have I bitten off more than I can chew!

no, you are fine...

 

don't use 'any' 3rd party installations, I don't care what others say...

 

download your own ps, and install that way...

 

you are going to have little bumps in the road...and you will overcome them...and learn during the process...ps is not different than any other cms...so once you master this you will be master of all..jajajajaja

 

so no whining!

Ok, I will uninstall the ps via bitnami and download directly from prestashop onto my computer as you recommend it.

 

Thanks.
