it's probably you have changed the admin folder name ... if yes, go to vqmod/install/index.php and change the line :
if(!is_writeable($opencart_path . 'admin/index.php')) {
$write_errors[] = 'Administrator index.php not writeable';
with proper admin folder name.
goodluck ...

Thanks nolexity! I was just having this problem and your post saved me from hours of pulling my hair out. Didn't think to check for admin renaming....

No that isn't the proper way to do it.
You should edit the pathReplace.php file and follow the example to add the proper name redirection for "admin" to the new name.

I'm having issues with this too...can someone help me?
I have a fresh opencart install and have installed vqmod using filezilla.
My admin file has been renamed so I have change the file name here -
Is that the right place to change it?
Prior to changing that I was getting the error admin.index.php not writeable but now I'm getting the message that VQMOD IS INSTALLED...which is great...but now when I go to my website both back end and front end I just get a completely blank screen. No error message just a white screen.
Can someone please help me?

Yes that was right. Check your PHP error logs. There will be an error causing the white screen

How do I find the error log?

You will need to contact your hosting for the exact location. The error itself may be in the system/logs/error.txt file but it's unlikely. Open your admin/index.php file, and add
Code: Select all
error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors', '1');
on a new line after the <?php and save it. Then reload the admin page and see if an error shows up instead of just white. If it doesn't you'll definitely need to contact your host

No error shows up with that either...
I'll contact my host. We had exactly the same problem happen when I tried to install vqmod on a completely different site and we needed to install a backup to get the site working again...I was too scared to try on that site again but seeing as I had a fresh oc and site to try on (and the template I want to use requires it) I decided to give it another go...

My webhost has sorted it out for me.
Was something to do with the permissions.
Thanks for your help!
