Hi and welcome to the forum.

You can edit the config file conf/_advanced.php , line 470

/**
 * Location of the admin interface dispatcher
 */
$dispatcher = 'directory1/admin.php';
$admin_url = $baseurl.$dispatcher;

Sorry sam2kb, I tried your advice then I tried to login into "www.mysite.com/directory1/admin.php" but the browser show me with the following error:

Warning: main(/home/gadge12/public_html/b2evolution/conf/_config.php) [function.main]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/gadge12/public_html/b2evolution/admin.php on line 44

Fatal error: main() [function.require]: Failed opening required '/home/gadge12/public_html/b2evolution/conf/_config.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/gadge12/public_html/b2evolution/admin.php on line 44

Any other advice then (my version is 2.4.2)?

Yeah, it doesn't work :(

What if you rename admin.php to hard_to_guess_name.php instead of moving it?

It doesn't work either 8| , admin.php hard-coded in backoffice links

Now I don't understand the reason of that $dispatcher option... Let's wait for dev's comments.

There's quite a few hard coded links like that in the core, as and when they're found they're ( usually ) changed to $dispatcher.

You *might* get away with changing the location of admin.php into another folder, but you forgot to update the path to /conf/_config.php ;)

DW found over a hundred ;)

I tried that also but something didn't work, I don't remember what exactly...

You'll love stage 2 of the plans for widgets then ( which will be implemented at some far distant time in the future ) ;)

Next on the list for similar treatment is the File Manager ;)

How could I rename it? I mean, if I change the admin file, what file else should i change, so my b2evolution could find the admin page?

The best and easiest way to protect your blog is create a strong password.

I believe there is no easy solution if you want to move/rename admin.php, but you can try if you have at least basic PHP knowledge.

Good luck

I am new to b2evolution. I created the page http://rd77.com/curese_usted_mismo and i deleted blog a, b and there is only one called Blog All. Now, when I tried to to to admin.php my password and username is not accepted. Neither, there is no way to post and nothing can be done.

Hi VFRodriguez.
Welcome to the forum

You installed an outdated version 1.10.2 but the most recent version is 2.4.2
You should delete all b2evo files, drop database tables and install the current version http://b2evolution.net/downloads/index.html

After installation you'll get a random password, use it to access the backoffice and then change it from Users tab.

Good luck

Thanks for that info. I pay for the service of web hosting and b2evolution is one of their choices for free. That is the version I installed.
