renaming admin directory

Naturally i've got my admin directory done up with a .htaccess file, but i was wondering if i could further secure it by renaming the adming directory.

 

Is it just that easy? just rename the folder itself? Or do i have to configure that change as well?

My website's address is in My Profile, since it's not allowed to be in my signature.

You need to edit the admin/includes/configure.php. You need to change any reference from admin to Your_New_Name.

 

change:

define('DIR_WS_ADMIN', '/admin/'); // absolute path required

define('DIR_FS_ADMIN', '/home/www/files/www/admin/'); // absolute pate required

to:

define('DIR_WS_ADMIN', '/Your_New_Name/'); // absolute path required

define('DIR_FS_ADMIN', '/home/www/files/www/Your_New_Name/'); // absolute pate required
