Displace the serendipity_admin.php into a new directory

Post by Freeflow »

Hi,
I'd like to displace my serendipity_admin.php into a new directory, but if I do so, and if I change the links in the serendipity_admin.php serendipity wants to start a new installation when I recall the index.php in my browser.
Thanx for your help,
Andreas

Hi!

Right, moving the file is not meant to be, you can't do that without modifying many files or creating a mod_rewrite rule, which of course defeats the reason of moving the file :-D

You could put a .htaccess HTTP auth on the serendipity_admin.php file, if you like extra security. Apart from that, moving files is security by obscurity, which has never worked...

Best regards,
Garvin
