Magento

In admin settings, I attempted to change the URL from the standard www.example.com/admin to www.example.com/newdirectory.

I also was turning off key that is required (or whatever is listed in the security section of magento, right after you change the directory).

When I clicked “save” it got hungup for about 3 minutes, so I closed out the browser.

Well, now I can’t login at www.example.com/admin nor at www.examplecom/newdirectory.

I did enter a / at the end of the new directory name.

Thoughts on how to fix or at least default back to normal, since I can’t login?

Thanks.

I think you make change from the system >> configuration >> admin
To get it back;

First you have to delete the entry which make into database table; when you enter the custom admin url…
Open “core_config_data” table; and delete following entries: (Keep DB backup)

To make change admin path then open ../app/etc.. Open “local.xml” file and find following like

Now change admin with then name that you want for your admin access…

Hope this will helps to you

If this won’t help please delete the folder var/cache in you Magento-directory.

Thanks! That worked.

But, if I want to change the directory for the admin login, all I have to do is change the folder in the particular xml file? I shouldn\’t do anything within the magento admin/setup?

For Instance:
If you would like to change:

Than you just have to change it into local.xml (As i saw you in first reply)
There is no need to change anything (If your cache is enabled then refresh it)
