Renaming Admin Folder

[sowjourn]

I am trying to rename my admin folder. I used file manager in CPanel to rename it. When I went into /shop/new folder name/configure.php and tried to change the following two lines:

define('DIR_WS_ADMIN', "/new folder name/'); and

define('DIR_FS_ADMIN', '/your/path/to/directory/new folder name/');

 

I got the following error message. [a fatal error or timeout occurred while processing this directive] What is causing this?

 

Thanks,

 

KEVIN

Kevin,

Be sure you change the permissions on the two configure.php files to 755 or 777 (depending upon your host) to allow you to make the changes. Once changed, be sure to change the permissions back to read only again.

Bill, thanks. That did the trick.
