Guest Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 For security reasons I would likme to know if the "admin" file name can be changed easily? What are the steps? Thanks Eddy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
♥Vger Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 FTP to your site, highlight the 'admin' folder, or right-click, select the Rename option. Rename it. Go to admin/includes/configure.php and change the two entries to /admin/ to /new_name/ Once you've done that you password protect the newly renamed 'admin' folder. If you had it password protected previously the name change will have removed it so it'll have to be redone. Vger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whenever I go to my admin site it opens as unsecured. I did all the changes to the admin/configure file but it still remains unsecured when I first enter. However, when I click on the word Administration at the top of the control box (next to Online catalog and Support Site) it then becomes secure. Do you know what the problem might be? Thanks again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
