Changed the name of the admin folder

[yurifanboy]

I am fairly new to this CMS and noticed that the gsconfig.php has a line to change the name of the admin folder (for security reasons obviously). I attempted to do this by first changing the gsconfig.php and then the folder itself, however, I get an empty white page when I try to login at http://website.com/newadminfoldername/

hmm, i just tried it and it worked.

Can you describe exactly the steps you took and your server configuration?

1. Changed gsconfig string to:

Code:

# Change the administrative panel folder name
#define('GSADMIN', 'adminx');

2. Changed actual admin folder to "adminx" after uploaded the changes to the Gsconfig.php file.
3. Success
I forgot to get rid of the "#" next to the define variable (or maybe a function 0_o). Thanks for the prompt reply. Sometimes problems solve themselves as I looked at the wiki when it said to remove the "#" in order to enable debug mode and assumed the same logic applied here.

yes,

you must tell comment lines from command lines ;=)

The # is used as marker for comments and used for deactivating commands
