Install folder deleted, can't login because Prestashop still thinks the install folder is there

[Roland88!]

Hi,

 

After a server crash a restore was performed and now, although the store is operational I cannot login to the backend. Prestashop advises that the install folder needs to be deleted.

 

The install folder was deleted and still the same error message.

 

Where does Prestashop check for the install folder? Looks like I need to turn the folder check off.

 

Or is there another way to get out of this loop?

 

Regards

Roland

what version you use? (exact number please)

Hi Vekia,

 

It's 1.6.1.7

[vekia]

it's in /controllers/admin/AdminLoginController.php

 

there is a code:
 

        if (file_exists(_PS_ADMIN_DIR_.'/../install')) {
            $this->context->smarty->assign('wrong_install_name', true);
        }

just remove it (or comment it)

I removed the line from the code and it still has the same error:
