Upgraded 1.3.8a to 1.3.9h But Keep Admin Log in?

Hi, i have Upgraded my Zen Cart 1.3.8a to 1.3.9h, but it displays the warning page i must rename my Admin page from mywebsite.com/admin to mysebsite.com/somethingelse

Is it possible to Keep original Admin Log in at mywebsite.com/admin?

I know some people would say it is not recommended, but I do prefer it like this, hope somebody can help.
Thanks :bigups:

It is only for you so change it
Leaving it as admin is one step closer for a hacker to gain accessz

Do you enjoy being hacked??

Hi, on this site, i just want to keep it as it is.
The only reason i have upgraded was because my website stopped working, because my host upgraded their servers PHP to a newer version, so now i need the new Zencart so it works.

So it would be really appreciated if somebody can give me some pointers how i can leave the admin area at mywebsite.com/admin

Thanks

Simple: rename it as instructed. It is for your own protection.

Hi, my website stopped working, because my host upgraded their servers PHP to a newer version, now my wensite dosent work

If i wanted to keep the same version of Zencart, could i just update my database PHP, so it will work on my Hosts server?

Also if this is possible, how would i do this?

Thanks

No. An upgrade involves more than just updating the database. You need to also update the PHP files. Full instructions are found at https://www.zen-cart.com/tutorials/index.php?article=98
