[Security] Admin Panel change

[ghoku]

Anyone can tell me how to change the admin panel folder? I already have few securities added for anyone who wants to try to view it, but I would still like to know is there any other way?

For example change the folder name. I would like to change my amdin panel folder name. Anyone know a good tutorial?

Changing the admin panel, is rather difficult and why would you want to change it?

I want to change the name of the folder for better security.

To change the folder name:

1. Go into your FTP and navigate to the folder named 'inc'.
2. Scroll about half way to a variable where is says "Admin CP Dir" above it.
3. Change the text in between the " marks from "admin" to whatever you want to name the folder.
4. Finally, rename the folder to the same thing you added in between the quotes.

Just follow Stefan's link.

Edit inc/config.php

Find

$config['admin_dir'] = "admin";

Change the name admin to your new name.
Rename the admin folder to this new name.
