Unable to access wp-admin

I realized that this question has come up in the past, but I haven't been able to find the solution to my problem.

My wp-admin works fine on my localhost. However, when I migrate to to my live server, I'm no longer able to access it. If I do go to mysite/wp-admin, I get a 404 error.

Some things I've tried:

-Disabling all plugins by renaming the folder -Deleting plugins one by one -Changing themes -Editing permissions to 755 for wp-admin folder -Adding the below to my wp-config file:

define('WP_HOME','http://example.com');
define('WP_SITEURL','http://example.com');

Note that when I add these lines I get an error that "this page has a redirect loop".

I used the standard wordpress .htaccess file:

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress

Does anybody have any idea what the issue might be? Any ideas are welcome.

Thanks!

It looks like you've done the standard troubleshooting tests. Try adding the following lines to your active theme's functions.php file.

function flush_my_rules() {

    flush_rewrite_rules();

}

add_action('init','flush_my_rules');

Make sure to keep the following lines in your wp-config.php file.

define('WP_HOME','http://example.com');
define('WP_SITEURL','http://example.com');

Then try visiting your homepage first, then your /wp-admin/ page. See if you continue to get a 404. If you do, try visiting the /wp-login.php page, and see if logging in via there continues to return a 404.
