[SOLVED] 1.4.9 New Install Probs

[SuperCharlie]

I just installed 1.4.9 from a fresh download, set it up locally with WAMP and a couple wierd things happen.. first, if I dont type http:// in front of every url, it fails and goes to google trying to use https:// but even more frustrating is when I try to login to the admin panel, it redirects my successful login to a /a/ folder that does not exist. This is after a successful install from scratch, locally.

 

So in summary.. how to stop https forcing and how to stop admin login redirect.

 

Thanks in advance...

Just to add some more info to this issue.. the version I installed is here.. http://www.prestashop.com/download/old/prestashop_1.4.9.0.zip off the download page here.. http://www.prestashop.com/en/download

I created a database, unzipped the files in a subfolder ,ran the install successfully, removed the install folder and renamed my admin folder. Yay.

http://localhost/website/store/

redirects to

https://localhost/website/store/

then isnt found and google searches for it in firefox.exiting the website.

 

Attempts to log in to administrator result in a redirect to an invalid folder..

This is the login page even when I type it in without the redirect..

http://localhost/clients/nana%20janet/website/store/admin-nanna/login.php?redirect=a/

This page shows the login form.. when I successfully log in I am redirected here..

http://localhost/clients/nana%20janet/website/store/admin-nanna/a/

Which is a 404

 

Ive opened up all the files in the config folder and dont see a place for root website path but surely I am missing it somewhere or there is some way to set the root website path and to disable the ssl redirects on the front end.

config/settings.inc.php

define('__PS_BASE_URI__', '/folder_name/');

 

back office seo/urls

localhost

 

That's all I have for many version of ps pre 1.5

 

then I navigate to localhost/foldername

It seems the problem was probably some spacing in the folder name.. when I changed the foldername to a plain 8 text and then updated the

 

"config/settings.inc.php

define('__PS_BASE_URI__', '/folder_name/');"

 

as above.. it flew.

Lesson.. keep the foldernames simple and flat.
