Moving Admin Area

[mark350]

Hello,

I want to make my forum more secure by moving my administration area to another directory (so it's not so easy to find). Is this a big deal - any advice or tips?

*This is not a new forum.

Thanks in advance for any help.

open your includes/config.php

search for the phrase " $config['Misc']['admincpdir'] = admincp " (without the quote)

now change the red to any word your like

then go to your ftp and change your admincp folder same as the red

EX:
on your config.php

$config['Misc']['admincpdir'] = admincp

change to

$config['Misc']['admincpdir'] = admin_wow

then on your FTP

change your folder admincp to admin_wow

thats it..

enjoy
