move the admincp dir?

[dreamhost]

Is it possible to move the admincp out of our forum dir to it's own directory somewhere else on the server?

I looked in includes/config.php and global.php to see if there was a place to insert the path to the admincp but did not see it. I'm sure that there would have to be somewhere to change the path to the admin, just not sure where to do it.

ideas?

I wouldn't move it. But you can rename it to increase security.

I wouldn't move it, as this would cause problems (which can be avoided using symlinks, but it's a bit tricky).
But as already said, you can rename the directories. Afterwards you must change $modcpdir and $admincpdir in config.php

If you rename it, just remember to modify your includes/config.php file to show the new directory name.
