OScommerce set up with admin folder in non standard location

[cmendla]

I am working with an oscommerce 2.2 ms2 installation where the admin folder is in

public_html\admin

instead of the usual

public_htm\store\admin

the rest of the store is under

public_html\store

Most of the oscommerce installations I've seen have the admin folder under the store folder. I was wondering if anyone else has seen similar setups to the one I'm seeing now.

I'm wondering if I should leave it as is or should I try to put the folder back in it's usual place. I think that it might have been an attempt to provide additional security or it was the result of using htaccess redirects to redirect the subdomain to the store.

ie www.storename.com is the main site

customwidgets.storename.com is the actual store.

I would think that I would prefer to have a more standard setup but I'm not sure it would be worthwhile to change things.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

thanks

I would leave it as it is. It provides a tiny additional layer of security to have the admin folder in a non standard location.

The location of the admin folder has no impact on your shop functions.
