I just transfered my magento installation from one local machine server to another. Now, I cannot login to admin panel. When I go to the admin login url, I get the following error message:-
"Error: 404 Not Found"
Some of my module's pages also show this error.
Can anyone please figure out the problem?
Thanks to all, for me this solution worked: Magento 404 page in backoffice after login
I have just copied and moved a Magento site to a local area so I could work on it offline and had the same problem.
But in the end I found out Magento was forcing a redirect from http to https and I didn't have a SSL setup. So this solved my problem http://www.magentocommerce.com/wiki/recover/ssl_access_with_phpmyadmin
It pretty much says set web/secure/use_in_adminhtml value from 1 to 0 in the core_config_data to allow non-secure access to the admin area
