Renaming the ACP "admin" directory

[Guest xkatonsurya]

IP.Board has a dedicated directory for the administration center. To further enhance security, you can rename this ACP directory.

 

Step 1:

 

First, you'll need to physically rename the directory. Connect to your server via FTP and then browse to your IP.Board directory (this is the one that has your index.php file in it). 

Locate the 'admin' directory. Choose 'rename' from your FTP client menu and rename it to whatever you like. 

Step 2: Create a file called 'constants.php'. Download it, open it in a text editor, and paste the following contents.

<?phpdefine( 'CP_DIRECTORY', 'admin' );

 

Replacing the admin with your directory name. Your ACP directory has now been renamed.

Isn't it easier to just edit the initdata.php file? 

if ( !defined( 'CP_DIRECTORY' ) ){	define( 'CP_DIRECTORY', 'admin' );}

Nah constants.php is used for a reason.It will overwrite the defined variables in initdata.php so you will not lose your custom defined variables when updating IP.Board.

 

Thank you very much.
