The following will let you easily change the URL path to login to your site. For example: instead of accessing my site by typing http://mydomain.com/sohoadmin I could access my site by going to http://mydomain.com/cameronsWebBuilder . To do this follow these steps.
Login to your server through SSH, and navigate to your site's docroot folder (usualy public_html, www, or htdocs) and enter in the following command:
ln -s /path/to/sohoadmin/ newfoldername
For example, if the path to my /sohoadmin folder was: /home/cameron/public_html/sohoadmin/
and I wanted to be able to access the site by going to http://www.mydomain.com/sitepro instead of http://www.mydomain.com/sohoadmin , I would login to shell and enter the following:
cd /home/cameron/public_html
ln -s /home/cameron/public_html/sohoadmin sitepro
Thats it! I can now access Pro Edition by going to http://mydomain.com/sitepro . This site can still be accessed by going to http://mydomain.com/sohoadmin because the sohoadmin folder is still there. The above command creates a virtual directory, that links to the sohoadmin folder. Because the /sohoadmin folder is still there, no source code changes need to be made to any of the build code. Enjoy! :cool:
