Magento admin login redirect to frontend

Question

When I try to login in magento admin and when I enter correct login detail I get redirected to the frontend.

I am using xampp

http://localhost/venkys/admin/index.php/admin/dashboard/index/key/e2c5440e3f8d569e3de19229617cba58/

This is the url in address bar.

And I am getting 404 page.

But when I try to change address bar to

http://localhost/venkys/admin/dashboard/index/key/e2c5440e3f8d569e3de19229617cba58/

Its working totally fine

Any help

Answer 1

This is usually a result of improper routing.

There are 2 ways this can happen;

1. Through your htaccess file (for example when you try to remove the index.php from the URL). Make sure your htaccess contains the following and not something else:

    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /
    RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule . /index.php [L]

2. The url values you put in under

    web/secure/base_url       
    web/unsecure/base_url 

In your core_config_data database table are incorrect. They should be http://domain.com and https://domain.com respectively.

Answer 2

First you can check your settings in httpd.conf this line : AllowOverride All

Should be ALL not None
