change ftp folder to backoffice url access

[MusikMachineMan]

hello

i am just installing the last version of ps1.7

prestashop naturally changed the url of /admin to a more secured one

and i'd like to change this one.

is it only in the ftp filezilla ?

do i need to change any right ?

as when i did, i obtained a error 500 !!

many thanks for your help

Hello,

Yes you can change it on ftp... Just don't use space or different characters (Only letters and numbers and - symbol)

 

And dont forget to clear your all cache on ftp..  Cache/smarty/all files without index.php

thanks for your help theskrya

it's what i have tried earlier and i obtain an error 500 !!

no file to erase in cache/smarty so i am surprised it doesn't work

is there anything else to do ?

if your website is "mywebsite.com" go to the file manager and change the folder to "slkzierhifg68fdksd" then navigate to mywebsite.com/slkzierhifg68fdksd and you're good.
