Hello,

First, congrats to Alex and all of you for a great script. I've run the LinksSQL install and everything is fine.

I would like to either change the name of admin.cgi or the /admin directory for an exstra layer of security.

How?

I tried to rename the admin directory as in:

/home/site/cgi-bin/directory/admin_dd_dj377

via Setup > Paths/URLs last night but it trashed the install so I started over.

Yes, /admin is pw protected :)

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Ok.. You can do this:
1 - Rename admin.cgi to adminSomthing.cgi

if you want to use different template set then continue (else go to number 6):

3 - rename templates/admin directory to templates/adminNew
4 - Replace (using fileMan) all the contents in adminNew of admin.cgi with adminSomthing.cgi
5 - Go to Links.pm and change the template set in the "sub Admin..." procedure to read: templates/adminNew instead of templates/admin


6 - Replace template/admin inside adminSomthing.cgi with the new template path.

Now you can access your admin with this link:
http://www....../admin/adminSomthing.cgi

Regards..
Mark

Thanks Mark. I'm going to try this advice later tonight.

Oooops!!! I am missing number 2;

2 - Replace all accurances of admin.cgi (using FileMan) with adminSomething.cgi of all templates inside the template/admin directory....
Otherwise, to change the name of the template set as well, then continue......
