I'm not qute familiar with PHP and hope someone can help to solve my below problem: My website has a admin panel with the folder 'admin' and I can access it at www.mywebsitename.com/admin/ . For security reason, I would like to change it to other name to say 'adminsecret'. I renamed it under Dreamweaver 4.0 and it prompted to update many files inside. I accepted the update. However, when I uploaded the new folder and its files to the server, the link insider still point to my '/admin' folder but not the new '/adminsecret' folder. Therefore, the updating under Dreamweaver is not proper or not effective. Can anyone provide hints for me to effect the change of this folder's name? Thanks.
several ways you can fix that ... one would use a .htaccess file to redirect all pages accessing the admin folder and have it go to adminsecret ... two, id use dreamweaver to search strings containing "admin/" and replace it to "adminsecret/" ( you know how to use the find and replace in dreamweaver, dont you? ) use the folder location .. dont load each file then search and replace ( just making sure ). there are other possible ways of doing it actually but those two might be sufficient.
