[asiamarinehub]

I am using 1.3.9 version. Sorry if i post at wrong thread but sincere help want

I have changed the admin url to adminx which i follow using this

1. Edit the file admin/includes/configure.php. Make these two changes:
1. Change
define('DIR_WS_ADMIN', '/admin/'); to
define('DIR_WS_ADMIN', '/adminx/');
2. Change
define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_ADMIN', '/admin/'); to
define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_ADMIN', '/adminx/');
3. Change
define('DIR_FS_ADMIN', '/home/slothe/public_html/admin/'); to
define
('DIR_FS_ADMIN', '/home/xxx/public_html/xxx/adminw/');

I got a webpage not found. what else must I do?

You've got a typo - assuming that your Zen Cart is in root, please try:

'DIR_FS_ADMIN', '/home/xxx/public_html/xxx/adminw/');
should be
'DIR_FS_ADMIN', '/home/xxx/public_html/adminx/');

hope this fixes it for you - if not, please post back.

For renaming admin, the only 2 steps you need are:
1. renaming folder (eg via FTP)
2. modifying configure.php in /yournewadminname/includes/configure.php to reflect the new name

Nothing else needed :)

Sorry, the typo is in this thread, not in the configure.php

Here is the code again

define('DIR_WS_ADMIN', '/bubblegum/adminw/');
define('DIR_WS_CATALOG', '/bubblegum/');
define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_ADMIN', '/bubblegum/adminw/');
define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG', '/bubblegum/');
define('DIR_FS_ADMIN', 'C:/xampp/htdocs/bubblegum/adminw/');

This folder is in the root

I have also try
define('DIR_FS_ADMIN', 'C:/xampp/htdocs/adminw/');

and this not working too

Please help

Did you change the permission settings on the config file on the server, otherwise you cannot overwrite it with the new settings

Download the one that is up there, and see if it is showing your new settings, if it isn't you need to change the permissions then upload your modified file then change the permissions back

[asiamarinehub]

i did change the permission to write for all

Don't take me wrong but just to cover the basics - you did rename the actual folder on the server via FTP?

I did no changes to the folder, only change the content in the file "configure.php"

[terraGirl]

You do need to change the actual folder name - with an FTP program of your choice go to "admin" and rename it. The configure file only references the folder name, it doesn't actually change it.

i do not quite get it. I change the content in the configure.php under admin->includes. Which file / folder name should i be changing too?
