Constants.php question

[MadGorilla]

sorry if i asked in anyones post. I have tried and tried and Im obviously doing something wrong.

I have latest version of invision on php8 server

I create a constants.php file........then ad this

<?php
\define( 'CP_DIRECTORY', 'my new admin name' );

and change the name of my admin folder to the new admin name. I put the constants.php file in my forums directory. I have an ips focus theme/skin

 

and once I change the new admin name and add constants.php file with code in it.
My site goes completely white blank> Any help appreciated, as i really want to hide my admin page from intruders

Hi. Did you previously have a constant.php file in your server? If the file was already there, you just need to add this code to the existing one.

\define( 'CP_DIRECTORY', 'my new admin name' );

That would be the  correct thing to do. So your file would be 

<?php
\define( 'CP_DIRECTORY', 'nameOfAdminDirectory' );
