Guest Posted January 6, 2005 Posted January 6, 2005 I am almost ready to go live with my site but I am concerned about the admin folder. It has no security whatsoever. Am I supposed to simply rename it or is there a way to add a username / password to the admin? I tried renaming it but then inside the admin none of the links worked. Please be overcritical, the reason I came to OSC is becuase my old windows shopping cart VPASP was hacked into a dozen times over the last year.
