There is no "admin" directory. admin.php is located in the web site's
root directory. Adjusting the .htaccess to what you see below still
does not work for first RewriteRule parameter "admin" but works for
"adm". Also, I do not believe /admin is in use by my provider because
this is on my own machine.

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

RewriteRule ^admin/?$ /fof/admin.php [L]
RewriteRule ^admin/logout/?$ /fof/admin.php?f=logout [L]
