    \r\n
  1. \r\n

    Access your server using any ftp client software;<\/p>\r\n<\/li>\r\n

  2. \r\n

    Navigate to the server directory that contains ‘admin’<\/strong> folder (this is your root directory, usually called ‘public_html’<\/strong> or ‘www’<\/strong>);<\/p>\r\n<\/li>\r\n

  3. \r\n

    Change the name of the ‘admin’<\/strong> folder to any desired one. We will rename it to ‘admin123’<\/strong>;<\/p>\r\n<\/li>\r\n

  4. \r\n

    Open the \/admin\/config.php<\/strong> file with any php\/text editor software (remember, you changed the name of the folder. Replace ‘admin’<\/strong> with the new folder name).<\/p>\r\n<\/li>\r\n

  5. \r\n

    There are several instances of ‘admin’<\/strong> throughout the config file. All instances must be changed for this to work. Below there are instances of admin (marked in bold) you will need to change:<\/p>\r\n

    \r\n\/\/ HTTP\r\ndefine('HTTP_SERVER', 'http:\/\/templatetesting.com\/opencart\/admin<\/strong>\/');\r\ndefine('HTTP_CATALOG', 'http:\/\/templatetesting.com\/opencart\/');\r\n\/\/ HTTPS\r\ndefine('HTTPS_SERVER', 'http:\/\/templatetesting.com\/opencart\/admin<\/strong>\/');\r\ndefine('HTTPS_CATALOG', '>http:\/\/templatetesting.com\/opencart\/');\r\n\r\n\/\/ DIR\r\ndefine('DIR_APPLICATION', '\/public_html\/opencart\/admin<\/strong>\/');\r\ndefine('DIR_SYSTEM', '\/public_html\/opencart\/system\/');\r\ndefine('DIR_DATABASE', '\/public_html\/opencart\/system\/database\/');\r\ndefine('DIR_LANGUAGE', '\/public_html\/opencart\/admin<\/strong>\/language\/');\r\ndefine('DIR_TEMPLATE', '\/public_html\/opencart\/admin<\/strong>\/view\/template\/');\r\ndefine('DIR_CONFIG', '\/public_html\/opencart\/system\/config\/');\r\ndefine('DIR_IMAGE', '\/public_html\/opencart\/image\/');\r\ndefine('DIR_CACHE', '\/public_html\/opencart\/system\/cache\/');\r\ndefine('DIR_DOWNLOAD', '\/public_html\/opencart\/download\/');\r\ndefine('DIR_LOGS', '\/public_html\/opencart\/system\/logs\/');\r\ndefine('DIR_CATALOG', '\/public_html\/opencart\/catalog\/');\r\n<\/pre>\r\n<\/li>\r\n
  6. \r\n
    There should be 5 instances of \/admin\/<\/strong> folder that would need to be updated to the new name you changed the folder to.<\/p>\r\n<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n
    Once you are done, you will be able to access OpenCart dashboard using new admin panel path:<\/p>\r\n
