How to change ModCP and AdminCP Path ?

[renebrocolo]

Hi there,

wanna ask im just newbie, i have install vb5 version 5.2.X in my web.
And for some security can we change the path admincp and modcp ?

if cant change if already installed then can i change for admincp and modcp path by do install again for the first time ?


so if the answer still no, how the best way to protect the admincp and modcp access ?


Thanks again for your helping

There is no way to change the admincp and modcp paths in vBulletin 5.

If you want to add security, you can use htaccess to keep them behind a separate password, and / or restrict access to specific IPs.

hi Mark...

i already make the htaccess and htpasswd but the password prompt doesnt come out.

and i already ask the hosting support, they said the folder must be exclude from :

# Main Redirect
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !\.(gif|jpg|jpeg|png|css)$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?routestring=$1 [L,QSA]

any idea for this ? thanks for helping
