Hi all, I see many posts explaining that you can re-name the admin.php file for better security but I dont see much information on how?? I am only a novice as regards phpnuke really I suppose its easy I dont know to be honest. anyway what information I did find was that you could re-name the admin.php to say adminx.php and then change the admin.php rout in the config.php to the same and it will work, well thing is I tried that and it worked to the point where I got into the adminastration panel and only have the icons were there and if you clicked on them they didnt work?.
Any idea`s
Cheers
mrix
p.s I am running sentinal if that will make a difference somewhere???

well i heard another example some time ago....
but i know it works but thats all i know...

just rename your admin.php to ... thisisreal.php ( example)
and then make a file call it admin.php and include the thisisreal.php

This is primarily for PHP-Nuke 7.6 . It's config.php file has a new variable of $admin_file = "admin"; where you can easily rename the admin.php to forgetyou.php as long as you change this variable to $admin_file = "forgetyou";. Only draw back is if you have admin modules that do not use this new variable to call it's admin functions.

In the case of none core admin files you could add $admin_file to the global line of any function that uses admin.php and then change admin.php to ".$admin_file."php

CS, once you have completed all the 2.8's I plan on making this change to the download packages on my site for 6.5 thru 7.5 Smile Of course that would make a perfect Patched 2.9 Smile

The ones for 7.2 to 7.6 are already available through the usual download links, need to finish the rest but i also want to add BBtoNuke 2.0.11 or at least it's security fixes. which i will try to do in the next 1 or 2 days, way too many files Sad
