jeking:
Did your site go down after renaming the admin folder? As I recall, you need to edit both configure.php files with your new admin folder name.
No it went down after installing Image Handler 2 ( admin area was already re-named at this point and i was very careful to insert each file into their respective folders and used the latest version of Image Handler - it did install correctly but main site went down and only the admin area worked although image handler kept putting up php errors when i tried uploading images using it )
New problem - I renamed back to Admin as i wondered if this was the cause and it still didn't work so i took all the files of image handler out of the system and replaced a few files with the original template default and arch shopper original files which image handler went over --- argghhhh the site is STILL down yet the admin area works perfectly.
It's strange why this is happening but i guess i'm going to have to use yesterdays backup and add 2 hours of work to get back to where i was today.
Thank god i'm not live yet ( although working on a live site as i have the SSL certificate installed and Live Help! etc etc )
I will have another go at installing image handler again once the backups complete....I got it working first time last week before installing easy populate corrupted the whole site and whoosh there went 300 products and images, meta tags, site logo's etc and i started from scratch 2 days ago and stayed up 36 hours getting it back to normal ( minus stock ) anyways i prefer inserting one product at a time now as it's easier to configure the way you want.
Still confused as to what happened with image handler this time round and i think i'll re download it before newly installing.
