# No admin page!

 * I have WordPress installed in the root directory of my site and an osCommerce
   store installed in the /store directory.
 * The admin section for the store is found at /store/admin.
 * Whenever I try to go to that page, I don’t get a log in to my store, all I get
   is my WordPress Themed 404 error page.
 * One possible cause of the problem is that I recently upgraded the site from 1.5.2
   to 2.0 and later from 2.0 to 2.0.1.
 * Does anyone know how I can regain access to my admin page?

 * Do you mean that you cannot access your osCommerce admin page, as in, when you
   try to go to your osCommerce admin page, you get a WordPress 404 error?

 * That’s exactly what happens.

 * Is `/store/admin/` a real directory? I mean, does it really exist or is it being
   created by the store software?
 * WordPress 2.x assumes that any URL under it that doesn’t belong to a real folder
   is meant for it.
 * If this is the case, that `/store/admin/` isn’t a real directory, open up the`.
   htaccess` file that must exist in `/store/` and copy the lines that create `/
   admin/` and paste them here. We’ll help you modify them so that they’ll work 
   and then you’ll place those modified rules above the WordPress rules in your 
   root `.htaccess` file.

 * OK, I talked to him a bit and here is the deal.
 * He has a store set up in the directory /store and the admin is in the directory/
   store/admin. They are really there, I checked on the server and they actually
   exist. One weird thing is that if you go to the store (www.4thelittleguy.com/
   store) it actually brings up the store, just like it is supposed to. Only if 
   you go to the store admin page (www.4thelittleguy.com/store/admin) does it give
   you the WordPress 404. So for some reason WP thinks the store admin page belongs
   to it, but not the actual store.

 * 2 questions: what directory is WordPress installed in and what is found in .htaccess
   files?

 * Was there ever any fix for this? I am experiencing this same exact problem. I
   can not access my OsCommerce admin directory, and my WordPress is installed in
   the root. Any help appreciated I am going nuts searching google/this site for
   a fix.
 * EDIT: FYI I tried to add this RSS to my Thunderbird RSS reader and it says it
   is not a valid feed.

 * I actually had this happen just between two wordpress blogs… one in the root 
   and one under a subdirectory… I’d be interested in how to solve this problem 
   as well…

 * FYI to temporarily get around this I disabled having to use a user/pass (edit
   the .htaccess by adding # to the beginning of the line) to get into the admin(
   which is what is throwing WordPress off) – so I can get in, do what I have to
   do real quick, then reset it.
 * I would love a proper fix though of course.
