A user encountered a 404 error when trying to access the admin panel of a fresh osCommerce installation. After solving several permission issues, the error persisted when attempting to load the admin/index.php file. The user noted that the system seemed to redirect to admin/login, a file that didn’t exist in their directory.

The Question: “I just fixed some permission problems, but now I’m getting a 404 error when trying to load the admin/index.php file. It redirects to admin/login, which isn’t in the directory. What went wrong, and should I delete the files based on the 'already installed' message?” |
