I’ve just moved a site running EE 3.3.2 to the live server, from a test server. The site frontend seems to load fine, but when I try to load the EE backend, I get the following error:

The configuration file does not exist.

Problem solved. Where I’d merged down files to my local storage, from the old server, using FTP, instead of copying everything down fresh, there was an old “installer” directory in the following location: system/ee/

I’ve removed that and left the renamed “installer_3.3.2” directory. The CMS now loads fine. Yay!
