Can I rename the default /nucleus/ directory?

Scenario:
"I have just installed Nucleus and would like to rename the default /nucleus/ directory to something else, like /admin/. Is this possible?"

Solution:
This is certainly possible. The /nucleus/ directory contains the admin area and all other Nucleus core admin files. In order to rename it, you will need to edit the paths in config.php and the urls inside Nucleus (both under Global Settings and the Settings for each individual blog).

Method:
Change your old config.php file from this:

// main nucleus directory
$DIR_NUCLEUS = '/home/username/public_html/nucleus/';

// media dir
$DIR_MEDIA = '/home/username/public_html/media/';

// extra skin files for imported skins
$DIR_SKINS = '/home/username/public_html/skins/';

will become this:

// main nucleus directory
$DIR_NUCLEUS = '/home/username/public_html/admin/';

// media dir
$DIR_MEDIA = '/home/username/public_html/media/';

// extra skin files for imported skins
$DIR_SKINS = '/home/username/public_html/skins/';

You will also need to change your global settings from this:
