Chaging name of admin folder

clearingthedots · 2012-10-11 01:54:15

What files and code would I need to modify to change the name of the "admin" folder? I would like to make my login page difficult to find.

Thanks

Hello,

I have made this on my installations.

You need to modify the value DC_ADMIN in the file /inc/config.php

You have this in the french documentation : http://fr.dotclear.org/documentation/2. … an-install

Thanks,

I changed the admin folder name and then updated the config.php file. Now, if I type the OLD admin address, dotclear redirects me to the new admin address.

Where do I change dotclear's behavior so it doesn't redirect the request?

Thanks again.

Hello,

Sorry for my mistake. I have changed the dotclear folder name in a clean install, not the admin folder. I have an admin URL like this www.myblog.com/aStrangeName/admin. And my blog URL is www.myblog.com with public and themes folders with URL www.myblog.com/public or www.myblog.com/themes.

I have no idea for change only the admin folder name.

That seems strange, like you had some rederecting instruction in .htacess, for example.

By the way, you should be aware that changing the admin directory name will prevent you from upgrading automatically…

Thanks. Following is a copy of my .htaccess. Perhaps you can find the problem in it?

My blog URL is:

mydomain.com/myblog

the .htaccess file in located at:

mydomain.com

------------
AddType x-mapp-php5 .php

RewriteEngine on

RedirectPermanent /myblog/blog1.php http://mydomain.com/myblog/

I don’t see in those rules anything implying the admin directory, and don’t see how that could interfere. I could test the same modification in a test install but don’t really see how this redirection is possible…

Thanks for taking a look. I didn't think it could be the htaccess file but wanted to make sure. I would appreciate if you could run the test and let me know how it works for you.

Thanks again.
