It is necessary to rename Zen cart admin directory in order to make it more secure. This can be easily done by opening your admin/includes/configure.php file. There find the lines: define('DIR_WS_ADMIN', '/admin/'); ... define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_ADMIN', '/admin/'); Change them to: define('DIR_WS_ADMIN', '/GENERIC_NAME/'); ... define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_ADMIN', '/GENERIC_NAME/'); Finally, rename your admin directory from 'admin' to GENERIC_NAME. Of course, you can set GENERIC_NAME to anything you'd like but try to avoid special characters. After that your Zen cart admin panel will be accessible at: http://example.org/GENERIC_NAME/ Please note that just renaming your admin directory is not enough to secure your Zen cart.
