www.yoursite.com/admin (easier login to admin)

OK this is nothing special - not that I invented the hot water or something like that

Just a little simple action to reach the backend in a easier way. This is a common way to do it for many CMS http://www.yoursite.com/admin.

Upload the "admin" folder to your root-directory of phpwcms.

What does this do?

When i start it, it came the normal login.php !!!!

http://www.mydomain.de/login.php directly is quicker!

That's exactly the point! It's just a very simple redirect. It's much easier to explain people to access their backend at "www.yoursite.com/admin" the "www.yoursite.com/login.php". People with no php/html skills can't always remember login.php

In most common CMS today you access the backend by typing /admin after your domain-name.

And of cause you can rename the "admin" folder to anything you like.

OK! But the login.php way is better for me

Hi

another reason to do it with a Subfolder is the Security!

Remember it's just a redict-script which takes you out of the subfolder again - so no security enhancements!

Hi

sorry havn't looked at this Script - I have moved the login.php and phpwcms.php with some modifications to a admin Folder.
