Changing the admin access value from "processwire"

[Gazley]

Hi there,

I have just moved my site on localhost from docroot/ProcessWire up one level to docroot.

If I try and access the admin module:

localhost:8888/processwire - I just see:

Index of /processwire

• Parent Directory
  
• .idea/
  

Is what I have done a No-No on localhost? I was really trying to really simulate how the site would be installed on the live server but now, I cannot get the the admin setup.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

It seems localhost:8888/processwire is just an empty directory? Then it's quite obvious that it doesn't work. Maybe you should explain a little bit better how you've got things set up and which files are where.

You say you want to simulate, but what exactly do you want to simulate? URL's that come close? What is sometimes do is setup a vhost and adjust my hosts file (windows)

That way you can have for example www.mydomain.dev

Nope, there is no directory called "processwire" - only "site" and "wire".

If I enter localhost:8888 - the site loads as expected. I typed in localhost:8888/processwire to simply administer the site - somehow, it appears to be being interpreted as a directory?

Thanks Guys,

@WillyC - that thought entered my head but I'm running on a Mac where the underlying OS is case-sensitive.

I'll try your suggestions and thanks again

If you do actually have a directory called /ProcessWire/ and you are accessing the URL /processwire/ then it doesn't matter if your OS is case sensitive as it's Apache that's connecting URLs to directories, not the OS. I'm running on MAMP in OS X and it is not case sensitive with the URL paths, meaning /ProcessWire/ is no different than /processwire/.

Ryan,

That interesting to know (about Apache)

Thanks.
