jasone Posted January 14, 2005 Posted January 14, 2005 Hi! Now it?s finally finished and ready to use. What do I need to think about before the move from local computer to a webhotel? How about safety, any tips? Thx!
jasone Posted January 14, 2005 Author Posted January 14, 2005 No tips att all? Did it work flawless for everyone? How about register_globals does the webhotel need to have it enabled or do I need to use the contribution?
KennethS Posted January 14, 2005 Posted January 14, 2005 It requires register_globals to be on to run, however with the contrib I guess it would not need to be on. You will need to secure your admin folder before going live, else your store will be vulnerable to anyone who lucks out and types the right address. Test everything, and get a few different people to run through your shop before going live. Kenneth S -------------- Customer "Are you a real programmer?"

Guest Posted January 18, 2005 Posted January 18, 2005 Thanks! How do I secure the admin? Dont know what to put in the .htaccess file.... Thanks in advance! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> You host should have some kind of directory password protection feature, if not try this link for .htaccess http://www.webmaster-toolkit.com/htaccess-generator.shtml

jasone Posted January 18, 2005 Author Posted January 18, 2005 How about permissions in catalog/includes/configure.php? How should it be set?
Guest Posted January 18, 2005 Posted January 18, 2005 How about permissions in catalog/includes/configure.php? How should it be set? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> The 2 configure.php files should be set at 644.
Guest Posted January 19, 2005 Posted January 19, 2005 The 2 configure.php files should be set at 644. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Sorry, my typo. You need to CHMOD to permission 444 not 644. :-"
jasone Posted January 20, 2005 Author Posted January 20, 2005 Sorry, my typo. You need to CHMOD to permission 444 not 644. :-" <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Thanks! I?ve tried to do so but I still got the pink warning text at the top of the page. Wierd! I can see in my ftp-prog that it is set as read only for everyone. Is this some kind of bug anyone heard of?

jasone Posted January 20, 2005 Author Posted January 20, 2005 CHMOD to 444 and still get a warning? What does the error message say? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> "Warning: I am able to write to the configuration file: /customers/something.com/something.com/httpd.www/new/catalog/includes/configure.php. This is a potential security risk - please set the right user permissions on this file." I am positive that the permission is set to 444....
Guest Posted January 21, 2005 Posted January 21, 2005 It depends on what you use for CHMOD. Some FTP programs may CHMOD a file and tells you that the CHMOD is completed without a problem, but when you check with your hosts CHMOD utility. You'll see that the permission hasn't been changed. The best way to CHMOD is to use the provided CHMOD utility from your host. If you host doesn't have this feature, then you'll have to try other FTP programs.
