Hi,
is it possible to rename the panel directory for security reasons, for example to
site.com/administration
and everything will work?
Thank you

Re: Renaming panel folder for security reasons
Yes, you can rename the /panel/ to /anythingyouwant/ ... I would probably avoid calling it "administration", because that dirname is often targeted by bad bots. Better just a secret folder name that only you (or a few) know ...
Re: Renaming panel folder for security reasons
Thanks for the answer, one more question:
Does the automatic update from the panel work after renaming? For example, when the update also affects the panel directory? Or must be updated manually after the update is released (from the panel directory to the new directory name).

Re: Renaming panel folder for security reasons
For this to work automatically, the folder must end with "panel", for example "secretword_panel".Rado wrote:Does the automatic update from the panel work after renaming?

If you don't that that, it's not too complicated to just rename "panel" to "somethingelse" manually after updating.
Re: Renaming panel folder for security reasons
So before updating it is better to rename folder back it to panel and after updating back to the secretword. Thank you :-)
