At this point you should have ./cp/admin and ./admin in your MyBB root. Move ./admin into ./cp/admin and rename to management. You should now have all the Admin CP files in ./cp/admin/management.
Open ./inc/config.php in FileZilla or similar.
Change: $config['admin_dir'] = 'admin';
To: $config['admin_dir'] = 'cp/admin/management';
And also try not to bump old threads...extremely old threads (3 years)
It's not recommend to move the admin directory to another directory as MyBB assumes the parent directory is MyBB. Only renaming the directory is supported.
That's a good point, I didn't consider that.

That would be the recommended method but firstly their question was renaming the admin directory and second they may not be running apache.
