    How to stop Umbraco 7.7.7, /install folder re-directing to Umbraco Back office after install

    I have changed the default "/umbraco" folder to a random path in order to stop people guessing the back office url.

    However what I didn't know was that if you browse to /install it will re-direct to the new back office login path. I am not sure how to disable this feature. I have removed the entries in the reserved paths/urls so possibly I could create a page called install but I don't think this is fixing the issue.

    The install folder has been removed from the

    Any thoughts on how this /install issue can be secured would be welcomed. thankyou.

    Hi Nigel,

    A way where you can change the Url to the backoffice could be by doing something like this by using a re-write rule.

     <rewrite>
        <rules>
            <!-- Restrict access to Umbraco -->
            <rule name="Restrict access" stopProcessing="true">
                <match url="umbraco(?!/Surface/)(?!/Api/)(?!/api/)(?!/webservices/)" />
                <conditions logicalGrouping="MatchAny" trackAllCaptures="false">
                    <add input="{HTTP_HOST}" pattern="(([^.]+)\.)?admin.example\.com" negate="true" />
                </conditions>
                <action type="Redirect" url="/not-found/" appendQueryString="false" />
            </rule>
        </rules>
    </rewrite>

    Hope this could be a solution for you?

    Best,

    /Dennis

    thanks for the reply Denis, I will take a look at this.

    Ideally it would be better I think if once you install Umbraco the /install feature is no longer present.

    thanks again, I will let you know how this goes.
