SecondSight Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Hello ! Where can I find how to rename the AC directory ? I can't find this anywhere... It used to consist in renaming the directory and changing the directory name value in constants.php, but it doesn't work for me... Thank you !

SecondSight Posted January 19, 2017 Author Share Posted January 19, 2017 No, it's not working. Perhaps is it due to the .htaccess protection ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathan Explosion Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 delete the htaccess and htpaaswd files then and find out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SecondSight Posted January 20, 2017 Author Share Posted January 20, 2017 Yes, the .htacces and the .htpasswd files' content had to be updated too. Now It's ok. Please, is there a page explaining the exact procedure to rename the ACP directory and create .htaccess protection ? Thank you ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathan Explosion Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 Open the ACP and type Security in the search - click 'Security' and then you get to the steps that show the procedure (but only if you haven't already done them) Here's the rub though: 1) Rename the admin folder, then enable the seconday username/password = lovely jubbly as it knows what the admin folder is called. 2) Enable the secondary username/password. then rename the admin folder = no lovely jubbly as there are no instructions on what to do if you have enabled secondary username/password. The only problem here? It's that the rename admin folder instructions don't give any advice on what to do if you have already enabled secondary username/password. How do you see the instructions again if you've already made the changes? Reverse the changes: 1) Delete .htaccess and .htpasswd will reverse the secondary username/password change. 2) Remove the entry from constants.php and rename the admin folder back to admin will reverse that change. And then you can see the instructions when you search for them If you want improvements in this area then pop in to the Product Feedback forum.
