[TYPO3-english] Renaming the typo3/ directory ... problems abound

[Dawid Pacholczyk]

Can`t you do something much more simple ?

Just redirect (with htacces or apache) path mysite/admin on mysite/typo3

You will achive the goal (user will be able to acces the BE via /admin
and there won`t be any problems with images or something like that.

Best regards,
Dawid "Fixus" Pacholczyk
