Hi,
That's not right. You're probably mistaking a correlation for a causation. Simply because the admin hasn't stopped working yet doesn't mean you have set up the configure.php file properly. Check it again. You'll probably find you've made a mistake in DIR_FS_ADMIN.
The reason you would think that you haven't made a mistake in this file is simply that you haven't used any part of the admin yet which uses this define and so haven't see this error before.
Hope that helps!
All the best...
