    Edit the "path" to admin login

    Hello all!

    I've been Googling for a while now but can't find the answer.

    I would like to change the path where admins go to login to Umbraco backend, from www.thesite.com/umbraco/default.aspx to something like www.thesite.com/controlpanel..

    Is this possible?

    Thanks!

    I think you can do it by altering a few keys in your web.config and renaming the umbraco folder.

    So go rename the /umbraco folder to /controlpanel.
    Then go to web.config -> appSettings and find the keys

    umbracoReservedPaths
    umbracoPath

    and change the ~/umbraco to ~/controlpanel
    Then type the url www.thesite.com/controlpanel/ to get the admin (don't forget the trailing slash or it won't work)
    However can't be certain that everything will still work and link to the correct place. Have a go see what happens.
