Does anybody know how I can change the administration setup to use a name thats not admin? At present if I turn on url aliasing then as soon as I click the administrator menu item it takes me to my ISP's control panel instead of the drupal system module.

You need a function like this (written here in pseudocode) in your sites.php file.


function conf_url_rewrite($path, $mode = 'incoming') {
  if ($mode == 'incoming' and $path starts with 'admin') {
    change $path to 'something else' plus rest of path.
  }
  else if ($mode == 'outgoing' and $path starts with 'something else') {
    change $path to 'admin' plus rest of path.
  }

  return $path;

}

I believe you've got "incoming" and "outgoing" mixed up. This is the example in admin/help/path:

function conf_url_rewrite($path, $mode = 'incoming') {
  if ($mode == 'incoming') { // URL coming from a client
    return preg_replace('!^display/(\d+)$!', 'node/\1', $path);
  }
  else { // URL going out to a client
    $aliased = preg_replace('!^node/(\d+)$!', 'display/\1', $path);
    if ($aliased != $path) { return $aliased; }
  }
}
