Hello i want to change the control panel url from admin.php to something else. I updated the cp_url variable in the config file (system/ee/config/config.php). I also changed the name of admin.php

When i try to go to control panel using http://www.website.com/newControlPanelName.php it returns to homepage with http://www.website.com/admin.php?variables=variables

Hey okaris,

Thank you for your question. And welcome to the forums!!

It sounds like you did what needed to be done. Should work.

Do you have an htaccess file in place? Is there anything

Can you show me the line you added to the config.php file?

$config['cp_url'] = "http://example.com/razzle.php";

Thank you,

.htaccess

Hey there okaris,

Looks good to me. Not sure why this is not playing nice.

I would like to log in and take a look.

Please be on the lookout for an email from EllisLab.

Thank you,
