Hello,
I need for safety reason to separate the administrator panel from main domain www.example.domain/admin into sub domain ex: adminpanel.example.domain.
What file / folder needs to move or create a copy into sub domain htdocs ?
Thanks,
Dimitrios Tzortzis.
Hello Dimitrios,
All you need to do to run /admin/ on a separate sub-domain is simply to install the Price Tapestry codebase (no need to run setup.php) using initially the same config.php and config.advanced.php as the installation to be managed.
A couple of considerations are then required with regards to paths. Firstly, from the installation to be managed, before deleting the /admin/ folder go to Tools > Support Info and make a note of the Install Path value, for example
/home/username/public_html/
Then, in config.advanced.php in the adminpanel installation, use as the value for $config_feedDirectory the above combined with feeds/ for example:
$config_feedDirectory = "/home/username/public_html/feeds/";Finally, the only admin script that assumes a location of admin/ relative to the installation is the Merchant Logos tool merchant_logos.php. Again using the value of Install Path of the installation to be managed but this time combined with "logos/" perform a Search and Replace in this file using your text editor as follows:
Search:
../logos/Replace:
/home/username/public_html/logos/(3 instances in total)
Cheers,
David.
