vqmod not working after I renamed admin

Hi! I'm not sure what's wrong.
I've been trying to get vqmod to work after I changed the admin folder name on a fresh install.

I installed opencart 1.5.5.1 and qvmod 2.3.2
Everything's fine when the admin folder is named, "admin" but when I renamed my folder to a new name, I get this message, "Administrator index.php not writeable".

Here are the steps that I took:
- uploaded 1.5.5.1 via ftp (filezilla)
- renamed the config.dist.php to config.dist.php and the admin/config.dist.php. to admin/config.php
- went through install process and assigned it a newly created database
- success!
- installed qvod 2.3.2 opencart
- set permissions for vqmod/vqcache, admin/index.php, and index.php to 0755
- checked mywebsite/vqmod/install
- success! website and admin. looks good.

This is where I'm having prob. (renaming file):
- added this $replaces[] = array('~^admin\b~', 'my-new-admin'); to vqmod/pathReplaces.php. -- I changed the new-admin-name to my new admin folder name.
- replaced all admin with the new admin folder name. I replaced five them in the admin/config.php
- went to the config.php file and there is no indication of the file 'admin'. This is not present in my config.php file: define('HTTP_ADMIN', 'http://www.mysite.com/admin/');
- i renamed the folder that i used to replace all admin.
- I got this error. Administrator index.php not writeable

I checked all permission set to 0755.
- as far as the config.php missing this define('HTTP_ADMIN', 'http://www.mysite.com/admin/');, I also tested with this added to the config.php file. (change mysite.com and admin to new name).
- same error Administrator index.php not writeable
- all permission required is set to 0755.

I changed the permission to 777 and got a
500 Server Error
A misconfiguration on the server caused a hiccup. Check the server logs, fix the problem, then try again.


Am I missing some steps? I can't seem to find any documentation on google. I've reinstalled both opencart 1.5.5.1 and vqmod 2.3.2 opencart and reassigned a fresh database but the same problem..

Help!

You need to manually delete /vqmod/mods.cache after updating pathReplaces.php.

Thanks for replying. I deleted the vqmod/mods.cache but I'm still getting this error: Administrator index.php not writeable

Are you trying to re-run the install or something? You only need to run it the first time.

Ryan,

THANK YOU! How embarrassing! I just wasted 2-days. Yes. I was trying to re-run the installer. I thought that I supposed to do that again. No wonder there's no info on this.

I tested and installed the ultimate seo and it works! yeah!

Many thanks to you. If you hadn't told me, I would've move on to something else!

If you rename the admin folder you need to edit vqmod/install/index.php file to install vqmod properly
edit
$admin = 'admin';
to
$admin = 'your_folder_name';

Otherwise it shows an error
opencart vqmod administrator index.php not writable
