[SOLVED] Delete install/ rename admin folder

[Iz]

Hi,

I´m new at this and I´m trying to open a webshop through prestashop and I have followed all the steps, and when I have followed the steps it says I have to delete the install folder and rename the adminfolder, and everytime I do, it says Error 404, Does anyone know what I´m doing wrong?

Best Regards
Isabelle

Hi,

If you rename admin folder to admin123, then if you want to access back-end, you have to type http://www.yoursite.com/admin123'>http://www.yoursite.com/admin123 instead of http://www.yoursite.com/admin

Hi the above enter your .com address is not accurate, as indicated in the above, http://www.yoursite.com/adminXXXX

in order to access the back end the steps are easy to follow, however what is missing in the whole post for this error is the following, since the back end needs to be pointed to the admin folder i just used the sequesnce that the message gave, it changes the number each time, however if you changes the admin folder eg admin123
then your access to the back office should read:

http://yoursite.com/prestashop/admin123

otherwise just typing in http://yoursite.com/admin123 is not pointing to anything, as your initial website will not have an actual admin123 page to go to hence why you get a 404 error.
