Presta stop is Installed. How do I get in the front end and back end to edit??

[johnnyfive]

So I successfully set up my database and reach the screen on my local host with the default
apple ipod merchandise ads on the home page. So how do I get in to the front end and back end to edit
my theme,logo,shooping cart etc. I would like to edit in dreamweaver but is there a presta shop front and back end?
is there something else I need to download. Did I overlook something?

Have you logged in to the Back Office? You should rename your admin directory to something else, then enter its URL in your browser and enter the email address and password you entered when installing PrestaShop.

Ive deleted my install folder and renamed my /admin folder (adding numbers at the end)
Im stumped at entering the top level domain under the url box in my browser i entered
www.domain.tld/admin*** (three asterix representing 3 unique numerical Numbers)

...I get a not found?


So where is says "domain" does that have to be my unique pre determined url
that I purchaed threw godaddy. I tried that and it didnt work....If so do I need to drag any folders to that server
where my domain is pointed in order to get to my back end?. Ive noticed I have folders that are red on my server
the same folders I have locally I dont recall loading them on my server? Im new to PHP only HTML experience.
so Im kinda tip toeing through A discovery process,trying to master the work flow any feed back I appreciate.
Im new to this and want to learn.

You mention successfully installing at local host...I assume you did your installation at your local machine. Did you take note of the location at the address bar when you complete your installation.
It should be something like localhost/xxxxx/yourprestashop/admin*** . You should use this to login since you install it at your local machine. It has nothing to do with your registered domain unless you install prestashop at your registered domain server.

Thanks for the feedback locally I put this in the url

localhost/shop/admin

and the attached image comes up so I

1) deleted the images folder
2)renamed admin folder to admin172
(at the bottom of this image it say go to tld?? but I ignored that)

I tried to access this locally so after I entered the following in the url box

localhost/shop/admin172

and refresh my browser I get a Blank screen nothing loads. So frustrating!
I tried 3 different browsers and get the same result.

I dont understand why my path is not working any ideas?
Thanks!

?!! It should be delete or rename the install folder and not delete the image folder

Check what what is your shop directory location. Was it at htdocs/xxxx/shop ? if so then it should be

http://localhost/xxxx/shop/admin***

Otherwise, check your /shop/config/settings.inc.php file. Ensure the define location are correct.

Thanks again Mike and Rocky for your input...I said images I meant I deleted my install folder it was a typo.

Well just found my issue I downgraded from PHP 5.3.2 to 5.2.13 and YES
it's working!!.....Now its asking for email and password to log in? I dont recall
registering how do I register. I have two emails entered both of them..... neither work.


How do i recover what email and password I used?
