Beginner question: Rename Admin Folder don't work

[felis8681]

Thanks to the forum I read that I have to edit the admin/includes/configure.php if I want to change my folder name. So I changed my folder name from admin to test .... to see if it would work.

 

Then I edit the following lines in configure.php:

define('DIR_WS_TEST', '/catalog/test/');

define('DIR_FS_TEST', '/../../../../.../.../catalog/test/');

 

........... but it do not work........... I got an Error: Server not found.......

 

If I change it back to admin ... it works fine again

 

I do hope anyone can assist me with that problem because I have no Idea what I did wrong - it sounds so easy....

Sophie,

 

You can't change the file definitions NAME, just the definition. So, your admin configure lines should appear like this:

 

<?php

define('HTTP_SERVER', 'https://www.yourdomain.com');

define('HTTP_CATALOG_SERVER', 'http://www.yourdomain.com');

define('HTTPS_CATALOG_SERVER', 'https://www.yourdomain.com');

define('ENABLE_SSL_CATALOG', 'true');

define('DIR_FS_DOCUMENT_ROOT', '/home/content/html/');

define('DIR_WS_ADMIN', '/changedadmin/');

define('DIR_FS_ADMIN', '/home/content/html/changedadmin/');

define('DIR_WS_CATALOG', '/');

define('DIR_FS_CATALOG', '/home/content/html/');

define('DIR_WS_IMAGES', 'images/');

define('DIR_WS_ICONS', DIR_WS_IMAGES . 'icons/');

define('DIR_WS_CATALOG_IMAGES', DIR_WS_CATALOG . 'images/');

define('DIR_WS_INCLUDES', 'includes/');

define('DIR_WS_BOXES', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'boxes/');

define('DIR_WS_FUNCTIONS', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'functions/');

define('DIR_WS_CLASSES', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'classes/');

define('DIR_WS_MODULES', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'modules/');

define('DIR_WS_LANGUAGES', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'languages/');

define('DIR_WS_CATALOG_LANGUAGES', DIR_WS_CATALOG . 'includes/languages/');

define('DIR_FS_CATALOG_LANGUAGES', DIR_FS_CATALOG . 'includes/languages/');

define('DIR_FS_CATALOG_IMAGES', DIR_FS_CATALOG . 'images/');

define('DIR_FS_CATALOG_MODULES', DIR_FS_CATALOG . 'includes/modules/');

define('DIR_FS_BACKUP', DIR_FS_ADMIN . 'backups/');

 

Where is says changedadmin is the ONLY change you need to make in the /admin/includes/configure.php file.

What exactly didn't work? There are 2 things to do

1) rename folder name via cpanel

2) update both configure.php files to reflect the changes as posted above
