Then using ftp open up includes/global.inc.php and change the corresponding line for $glob['adminFile'] = 'your-new-filename.php'; No need to change the admin folder name. As for the GitHub post, suggested by Al, i'd suggest that you could possibly leave this alone for now. I'd imagine that this will be written in to the next update, so might not be an issue moving forward.

After you have saved your file with your naming, change the permission back to 444. Also, when you have all the naming for the admin_XXX folder and file set to what you want - be sure there is not an additional old folder hanging around named admin or a file named admin.php. (Not everyone is getting these leftover file/folders messes) They need to be deleted ONCE YOU ARE SURE you can login to the Dashboard with YOUR renamed admin_XXX.php. Thank you, I've managed to get it done, was able to change the admin folder name as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher Short Posted April 19, 2017 Author Share Posted April 19, 2017 This is still an issue! just updated using auto update to 6.1.6 from 6.1.5 and once again I have a new admin login link. Please fix this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Brookbanks Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 The release notes for 6.1.6 says that a manual upgrade is required. The auto upgrade should then work from 6.1.6 upwards. So on those grounds it's not still an issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, so those notes don't show in the admin section when it prompts for an update...at least mine didn't. Now I know. Will a manual update now fix it?

Dirty Butter Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 6.1.6 is supposed to have the fix for the bug that crept into CC a few upgrades ago. Assuming they solved it, this is the last time you should have to do the manual upgrade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirty Butter Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 Did you put the setup folder in the same directory level your admin_XXX folder is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirty Butter Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 OK - so double check that your admin_XXX.php name and admin_XXX folder are the same as it's in includes/global.inc.php. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirty Butter Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 Not being the same is fine, as long as it matches. So THAT's not the problem. I just set my test site up to upgrade manually. MY url is https: //dirtybutter.com/testsiteXXX/setup/ (I left a blank to keep the url showing for you) I did NOT do this from within CC - just put the store url with /setup at the end. Yours would be csrocketry.com/setup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now, I had already done this from admin before anyone pointed out the manual requirement to stop the link changing. I reloaded the files manually.

Dirty Butter Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 It may be that you have something maybe in the wordpress part that is redirecting in some odd way. Try seeing if you can see a test file at the store root level at this point from csrocketry.com. If it 404's then it's some kind of redirect issue. That's all I can think of. If that's not the issue, it's time for you to get much more knowledgeable help than I can provide. @bsmitheris busy right now and not on very much, so maybe @bsandall or @havenswift-hosting will be able to spot how to fix this. Of course you can always pay for a month's support from CC and let them fix it for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foz1234 Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 off topic slightly, upgrading from 6.1.1 to 6.1.7 am i better doing the upgrade through softaculous/cpanel, or through the admin shop upgrade or via ftp? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Brookbanks Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 We have never certified or tested the Softaculous installs/upgrades. The auto upgrade tool from 6.1.6 should be ok but there is still potential file permission issues. I always use FTP personally to be sure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got the setup to work this time. You've got to be doing something wrong or unusual. I've upgraded 12 stores so far today and all have been fine keeping existing paths. Do not upload the admin folder and admin.php file without first renaming them accordingly or after they have uploaded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
