在旧版本的Zen Cart, 一般安装好了Zen Cart之后，管理后台的默认登陆路径都是 http://域名/admin。应该是1.5.x版本开始，安装好了 Zen Cart之后如果再输入以上默认路径登陆后台，系统就会提示“ Warning: You cannot access the admin until you have renamed the admin folder.”，要求我们更改管理文件夹名才可以登陆。

怎么修改管理文件夹名呢？请看以下官方英文教程链接：http://tutorials.zen-cart.com/index.php?article=33

(由于原文经常被墙，把原文COPY过来吧）以下是原英文教程原文：

While access to your admin area is protected by the requirement of your admin password, it is recommended for additional security that you rename youradmin directory after installation. This way, it will be significantly harder for hackers to find your admin area or attempt any attack on breaking into it.

(Before making the following changes, make sure to have a current backup of your files and your database.)

You’re going to do three steps: A) edit the configure.php settings and upload them, B) rename the admin folder, C) test login to the new folder.
Details are below:

Zen Cart v1.5.x:

A – configure.php – If you are using v1.5, go to step B. If you are using v1.3.x, see the next section below which explains how to edit this file properly.

There is no need to alter the admin configure.php in v1.5.x when renaming your admin folder. Simply proceed to step B.

（注：从1.5.X版本开始，我们不用再去修改configure.php了，而直接只需要修改admin文件夹名，而登陆路径只需要将原来 http://域名/admin 中的admin改为你所改的文件名即可）；

B – Rename the Admin folder

Using your FTP software or your webhost’s File Manager, find your Zen Cart /admin/ directory. Rename the directory to match the settings you just made in step A.

NOTE: DO NOT advertise this new foldername, else you defeat the entire purpose of renaming it.  And DO NOT EVER put it in your robots.txt file!

C – Login to your admin using the new URL

To login to your admin system you will now have to visit a new URL that matches the new name used in steps A and B above.

For example instead of visiting www.example.com/admin/ visit www.example.com/NeW-NamE4u/

Zen Cart v1.3.x:

A – (This step for Zen Cart v1.3.x ONLY: ) Edit /admin/includes/configure.php

IMPORTANT NOTE: If you’re using Zen Cart v1.5.0 or newer, you can skip this step, and proceed to step B to rename the folder using your FTP program.  With v1.5.0 there’s no need to edit your configure.php file when renaming your admin folder.

1.3.x版本主要是更改网站根目录下的 /admin/includes/configure.php里面的3处”admin”为想要的管理文件夹名，并修改网站根目录下admin文件夹名为想要的管理文件夹名。

Using your FTP program, download a copy of your /admin/includes/configure.php file to your computer.

Using a simple text editor like notepad (or better yet, use Notepad++ or TextWrangler), change all instances of admin to your chosen new admin folder-name.

For maximum security, you may want to consider that new folder name should include numbers and a combination of upper and lower case letters. The longer you make this folder’s name the more secure it will be.

When editing, make sure you leave all the / (slashes) alone.

DO NOT USE SEARCH-AND-REPLACE TO DO THESE EDITS!!!!!!!!!!!（请不要使用Search功能来寻找替换）

Change ONLY THE WORD admin, in 3 places, AS SHOWN HERE:
Change this section:

 define('DIR_WS_ADMIN', '/admin/');
 define('DIR_WS_CATALOG', '/');
 define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_ADMIN', '/admin/');
 define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG', '/');

And this section:

 define('DIR_FS_ADMIN', '/home/mystore.com/www/public/admin/');
 define('DIR_FS_CATALOG', '/home/mystore.com/www/public/');

You will end up with something that looks like this:

 define('DIR_WS_ADMIN', '/mysecretadminarea/');
 define('DIR_WS_CATALOG', '/');
 define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_ADMIN', '/mysecretadminarea/');
 define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG', '/');

And:

 define('DIR_FS_ADMIN', '/home/mystore.com/www/public/mysecretadminarea/');
 define('DIR_FS_CATALOG', '/home/mystore.com/www/public/');

Now, you must upload the changes back to the server, using your FTP program.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Your configure.php file should be set as Read-Only for normal use. So, you’ll need to make it Writable before you’ll be able to upload/save your changes to the file.  (In *some* cases, your server might require you to DELETE the file from your server before you can upload the edited version to replace it.)
Be sure to make it Read-Only again when finished.  Often you can right-click the file in your FTP program and change the permissions settings there.  There’s another FAQ article on how to change file permissions on different hosting servers.

B – Rename the Admin folder

Using your FTP software or your webhost’s File Manager, find your Zen Cart /admin/ directory. Rename the directory to match the settings you just made in step A.

NOTE: DO NOT advertise this new foldername, else you defeat the entire purpose of renaming it.  And DO NOT EVER put it in your robots.txt file!

C – Login to your admin using the new URL (更改后的登陆路径是：http://你的域名/更改后的管理文件夹名）

To login to your admin system you will now have to visit a new URL that matches the new name used in steps A and B above.

For example instead of visiting www.example.com/admin/ visit http://www.example.com/NeW-NamE4u/

Use of SSL is highly recommended to protect your and your customers information. To enable SSL on your site, see this article:  http://tutorials.zen-cart.com/index.php?article=14

D – What if it doesn’t work?

If it doesn’t work, then you’ve missed one or more of the steps. THE MOST COMMON MISTAKE is ignoring the read-only vs writable alert in BRIGHT RED TEXT in step A.
The second most common mistake is changing the WRONG THINGS!  In step A, change ONLY the word “/admin/” in the 3 places shown.
