Magento 1.9 – Admin Folder Location

.htaccessadminmagento-1.9

I'm troubleshooting an admin issue for a 3rd party's Magento CE 1.9.?. They "renamed" their admin URL, but they also secured their admin using .htaccess to restrict access to specific IP.

I'm trying to find the .htaccess file that does this in FTP, but can't find an /admin or /new-admin-URL directory.

What folder does the admin live in?
What .htaccess would contain the restricted IPs? I can't see those restrictions in the web root's .htaccess.

@Steve, Admin path will either be set in app/etc/local.xml file or overwritten by Magento admin and can be verified in core_config_data table where path=admin/url/custom.

Developer IP restriction can be done by admin panel as well. If you are not finding this in .htaccess then check this as well ...

System > Configuration > Advanced > Developer

If you have the database access, then you can modify this record in core_config_data table where path=dev/restrict/allow_ips
this should work for you.

correct

<admin>
    <routers>
        <adminhtml>
            <use>admin</use>
            <args>
                <modules>
                    <my_customer before="Mage_Adminhtml">Namespace_Module_Adminhtml</my_customer>
                </modules>
            </args>
        </adminhtml>
    </routers>
</admin>

wrong

<admin>
    <routers>
        <YOUR_NEW_ROUTER_NAME_HERE>
            <use>admin</use>
            <args>
                <module>Namespace_Module_Adminhtml</module>
                <frontName>my_module</frontName>
            </args>
        </YOUR_NEW_ROUTER_NAME_HERE>
    </routers>
</admin>

Magento 1.9 Migration Issues After Moving Hosts

Make sure you have mod_rewrite enabled on your new server.
Let's take the registration page for example:

http://www.wein-partner.at/shop/customer/account/create/ does not work, but http://www.wein-partner.at/shop/index.php/customer/account/create/ does.

So I'm 99% sure that mod_rewrite is the issue here.
