vidmarc Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 Performing an upgrade but I'm getting this error: The requested URL /admin_*****.php was not found on this server. I've looked through various files and I can't work out why the upgrade is trying to set a new admin folder name? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bsmither Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 The new admin name is "security by obscurity". If no one but you knows the name of the admin folder and the name of the admin PHP script file, then the likelihood of unauthorized access is greatly diminished. In the file /includes/global.inc.php, the current names of the admin folder and file can be discerned. Unfortunately, past versions of CubeCart were not without some complications on the upgrade process. So, determine if the currently existing admin folder and admin file have actually been upgraded (should be reflected by the file's timestamp), then either rename the admin folder and file to match the values found in global.inc.php, or change the values in global.inc.php. They must be the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vidmarc Posted August 3, 2019 Author Share Posted August 3, 2019 The files names in "includes/global.inc.php" match the names pre-upgrade. (this is dated 2018) Is there anywhere else the upgrade might want to change these names as the upgrade is looking for a different admin file name. url: admin_****.php?_g=maintenance&node=index#upgrade error: admin_****.php was not found on this server.

bsmither Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 No other place. The folder and file names must match the currently existing folder and file names. The "upgrade (process)" isn't looking for anything. The URL is constructed from the value in global.inc.php. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
