Shortening the address of WHMCS

[gazza777]

Hi all,

 

We made the mistake of installing WHMCS behind a long set of directories.

 

Eg. ours is currently http://www.unwabu.com/whmcs_v369/whmcs/

 

I'd like to shorten/customize that link to something like:

 

http://www.unwabu.com/customerzone/

 

Whats the best way to do this?

 

Thanx in advance.

Hi

 

You can change the location or rename the directory of WHMCS. You will just need to also make path corrections for the email pop cron, pipe commands and the admin cron. Also the system urls in Configuration > General Settings and any payment gateway call backs you may have setup and then reissue your license.

Hi Joe,

 

So ina step by step procedure:

 

1.) I'd move whmcs folder (which resides behind whmcs_360/whmcs)

2.) Correct email pop cron and pipe commands (what are pipe commands?) and admin cron.

3.) Then correct system URL's.

4.) Finally reissue license.

 

Thanx,

Yup; you may also need to adjust your payment gateways

Hi,

 

Or you can use ModRewrite

Hey Ronald - excuse the ignorance, but what is modrewrite and where do I find it?

Hi Gazza777,

 

ModRewrite is a Apache Module.

Mod_rewrite is used for rewriting a URL at the server level, giving the user output for that final page.

So, for example, a user may ask for

http://www.unwabu.com/customerzone/

but will really be given

http://www.unwabu.com/whmcs_v369/whmcs/ by the server.

 

Try a Google search, there is a lot of info to be found with examples how to use.
