testing a new install of myStore quickstart on localhost and live server and have encountered a problem with Virtuemart presentation in the admin areas.

When selecting VM in Admin to manage from back end, whilst the 'admin panel opens correctly in the joomla admin area, any link to a task in the VM admin breaks and get a 404 error.

The link url has an extra '/administrator' call in it as below:
Code: Select all
http://localhost:8888/mystore5/administrator/administrator/index.php?pshop_mode=admin&page=admin.update_check&option=com_virtuemart


The same url is seen on the live site, with the extra '/administrator'

Code: Select all
http://xxxxxxxxxx.co.uk/xxxxxxxxx/administrator/administrator/index.php?pshop_mode=admin&page=admin.user_list&option=com_virtuemart


Page link from source

Code: Select all
<a href="administrator/index.php?pshop_mode=admin&page=admin.user_list&option=com_virtuemart">Users</a>



When I remove the extra '/administrator' in the browser address bar the correct page is called, scratching my head as to where the problem is, suspect that in one of the files there is an instruction that is duplicating this url for the '/administrator' directory.

Secondly the 'admin' for VM when accessed from the front end is unstyled on both versions localhost and live server?

No VM 'extended' layout working in the back end administrator section?

Do you get a similar result on the demo myStore?

Any suggestions where to look for the error(s)? I guess they are all related to one common denominator perhaps.

No SEF applied

Any pointers would be helpful
