    Changing name of admincp directory

    Would there be a problem if I rename the admincp directory?
    I did not attempt as I was afraid of a problem on the board.

    Hello,

    No, it is not a problem to rename the admincp/ directory.

    You can rename the directory whatever you want.
    Then goto the config.php file and update the variable to the renamed directory.

    PHP Code:
    // ****** PATH TO ADMIN & MODERATOR CONTROL PANELS ******
    // This setting allows you to change the name of the folders that the admin and
    // moderator control panels reside in. You may wish to do this for security purposes.
    // Please note that if you change the name of the directory here, you will still need
    // to manually change the name of the directory on the server.
    $admincpdir 'admincp';
    $modcpdir 'modcp'
