Hello, I am a newbie to OS and have tried and tried to understand how to
do things in OS I even had someone with web design knowledge try to help
me. They can do the css part. I have no problems with adding product and
details. But I guess I need your help with the next step. Where can I find
someone to setup OS correctly and help design it with me or hire someone
to do it completely.

I have read and read posts, trying to figure it out. Yesterday I was trying to rename
admin for security reasons per posts. Well something happened, now I'm locked out
of login with another error code. (The requested URL /Store/admin/login.php was
not found on this server. Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while
trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.) I have no idea where to go from here.

So please advise me what I can do to fix this or to find someone that can be trusted.

Thanks for you consideration.

I think the best way to learn oscommerce will be to read the book about oscommerce or find in the internet a lot of manuals & "how-to" articles.

Hi,
After you rename the admin directory, you will have to change two lines in the renamed_admin_directory/includes/configure.php:

define('DIR_WS_ADMIN', '/renamed_admin_directory/');
define('DIR_FS_ADMIN', '/your/path/to/directory/renamed_admin_directory/');

I have changed the folder name of my admin folder. Everything is working fine until I click 'Confirm Order'. The order goes through fine, but the sending of email invocie is not working because it shows the wrong path.

Here is the error:
PHP Warning: require(/html/admin/includes/languages/english/invoice.php) [function.require]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /html/includes/modules/email_invoice/email_invoice.php on line 30, referer: https://www.domain.com/checkout_confirmation.php

The path above to the admin folder is showing the old folder name of admin.

I have done the following in newadminfolder/includes/configure.php so why is the path above showing admin instead of newadminfolder?
define('DIR_WS_ADMIN', '/newadminfolder/'); // absolute path required
define('DIR_FS_ADMIN', '/newadminfolder/'); // absolute pate required
define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_ADMIN', '/var/www/public_html/ahaplace/html/newadminfolder/');

Here is what is strange:
I can keep the above settings in configure.php and change the admin folder name back to admin and then everything works fine. That is telling me that email_invoice.php is not looking at the configure.php file for the path even though the code in email_invoice.php shows it should:
require(DIR_FS_ADMIN . "/" . DIR_WS_LANGUAGES . $language . "/" . FILENAME_ORDERS_INVOICE);

by the look of it, it refers to the store webroot so you will need to update the changed admin folder name in [catalog]/includes/configure.php (not just the one in admin), or perhaps the one in [catalog]/includes/local/

or, if thats the only problem, why not just copy the invoice.php language file to the folder it is complaining about missing.

It was the in [catalog]/includes/local/ that needed to be changed.
