Hello All,
We're looking at upgrading from Version 3.0.3.1 to Version 3.0.3.8. Currently on PHP Version 7.4.30 & MySQL Version 10.2.44-MariaDB.
When we originally installed Open Cart we renamed our Admin folder, which has has worked without issue since we did it.
Will the OpenCart Upgrade script work with a renamed Admin folder?
Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
OC 4 doesn't have a rename admin folder feature implemented (yet?). Earlier OC versions don't have this feature built-in either, unfortunately.p419 wrote: ↑Thu Oct 06, 2022 1:12 amHello All,

I've come to regret renaming the /admin directory to /NewAdminName - a few extensions don't like it and there have been other problems as a result.
So I'm planning on returning to /admin and use .htpasswd and .htaccess files to protect access and adjust the permissions too. Cpanel is one of the easier ways to do the password protecting of a directory, but it isn't hard to search for examples if one doesn't have Cpanel on one's domain host.

Take note that .htpassword is not the best solution to cover your admin folder with a password. Rather, you should use a reputable extension from the Marketplace to achieve this.jrr wrote: ↑Sat Oct 08, 2022 11:14 pmI've come to regret renaming the /admin directory to /NewAdminName - a few extensions don't like it and there have been other problems as a result.

You mention that it doesn't have a "rename admin folder feature". I've already renamed my admin to something else, so will the upgrade script work or should I change the name back to Admin?

I find this to be a good admin security solution. I also install a firewall which coves the whole OC installation:
