You should have a login already. I had my own way of building these
stores, but I am guessing that regardless of how you did it your admin
page is found like this:

This is my site where I sell the First Bible by Marcion of Sinope AD
140, which I edited, print and bind.

( http://www.franz-schubert.com/images/bloggie/books.mp4 )

http://www.marcion.info/

It has a neater URL than the store out of the box. This is achieved
thorugh lines in interchange.cfg and in httpd.conf. The real URL is:

http://www.marcion.info/shop/marcion/

Which was also changed from:

http://www.marcion.info/cgi-bin/marcion/

Anyway, unless there are too many server redirects I am guessing that
for all of these stores you just type admin after the index page like this

http://www.marcion.info/shop/marcion/admin

That is where you should be able to log in with your user and pass.

I have hosted at home for 10 years on ADSL.

I have been panicking a bit about the motherboard frying so I have
started to virtualise my office. Now my work pc is a virtual pc running
on linux KVM. I was able to make a clone onto a similar pc within an
hour. When I find a little time I will build my server as a virtual
machine too. In the past we would not have considered running the server
from a gui for various reasons, but with increasing speeds, at the very
least I want the server on virtual machines for backups and redundancy.
Development should then be much easier.

There is nothing wrong with building your whole setup from scratch. I
find that if too many years go by before the server blows up then
learning the new hardware, linux and servers becomes a huge job. That is
why I am looking at upgrades, development and the latest builds before
we need to do it during a crisis.
