Changing Admin Area Directory - Help

Hello,

For security reasons, I am changing the default administration directory for Vbulletin ("admincp") to something different.

*I've been told a simple change to the config.php file & renaming the admin directory is all that is involved.

My question is how will this affect VBSEO - are there any changes I need to make to vbseo when I do this? If so what?

Thanks in advance for any help.

AFAIK, you don't need to do anything beyond folder renaming and updating the config.php

Just check your .htaccess file too to see if theres any reference to admincp.
(update it accordingly if you find any)

Thanks for the quick response!

You're welcome!

In my htaccess file i have 2 lines with:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(admincp/|modcp/|cron|vbseo_sitemap)

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !^(admincp|modcp|clientscript|cpstyles|images)/


so this 2 lines need to be updated right?

If you will have a custom config.php name , then you need to edit config_vbseo.php and define your config.php within the following setting

PHP Code:

    define('VBSEO_VB_CONFIG',              'config.php'); 


no i have not edited config.php name

oh ok sorry, and what about my question?

Yes , if you change your admincp folder name , you should also update those lines

Ok Thanks Mert
