Hi, I'm still in the learning stages of all this wed building stuff. I have been doing data entry into Prestashop 1.5.4.1, when there was a notice that an upgrade/update was available. So I went to cpanel, Softalicious and clicked the notice link. First, I did a back up of my site as it was before the upgrade. Then I proceeded with the update through Softalicious. Everything seemed fine. I clicked on the link in Softalicious to my site and it pulled up my storefront. When I tried to go back to the back store to continue with the data entry work that I was doing, it gave me the following error:

Discount Trailer Parts Direct
For security reasons, you cannot connect to the Back Office until after you have:

deleted the /install folder
Please then access this page by the new URL (e.g. http://discounttrailerpartsdirect.com/admin123/)

Now I'm stuck and can't get back to work. What do I need to do?

Hello dtpdllc3,

Thank you for your question. Just like the error states, PrestaShop wants you to delete the /install folder, as a security measure.

It should be in the root folder you installed PrestaShop in, which is often public_html.

You can accomplish this by using the File Manager in cPanel, or via FTP.

If you have any further questions, feel free to post them below.
Thank you,

Hello lhackg,

This error occurs, because after installing prestashop from the /install folder, it requires you to delete the /install folder before you can successfully Login to the Prestashop Admin Panel.

If you have any further questions, feel free to post them below.
Thank you,
