osiris77 Posted January 20, 2005 Posted January 20, 2005 Excuse me for asking this question again..I saw it in another thread but it wasn't answered. I've just installed oscommerce and the main catalog page says that it "is important to secure the Administration Tool as there is currently no security implementation available" so does anyone know how this is done please?
♥Vger Posted January 20, 2005 Posted January 20, 2005 FTP to your site, rename the admin folder to something unique (not admin2), then go to your admin/includes/configure.php file, download it, and where you see the pathways which say /admin/ change those to the new name of the 'admin' folder. Upload it again. Then, go to your web hosting control panel (not the osCommerce one) and use the Password Protect or Directory Protect feature to password protect that folder with a user name and password. Vger
Skaterscafe.com Posted January 23, 2005 Posted January 23, 2005 I really need some help!! I did as instructed above but something has gone wrong. After changing the admin to another name and editing the "admin/includes/configure.php" as described above my admin Cp (in OSC) does not work. I changed the dir back to admin and changed the configure file back and still nothing, I get the following message when any link is clicked in the admin section: The requested URL /DIR_WS_ADMINcategories.php was not found on this server. Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request. Can anyone tell me what has gone wrong?
Sincraft Posted January 23, 2005 Posted January 23, 2005 You need another / in there bud. Go back to your configure file and make sure you have admin/ and not just admin in the brackets. Change it to admin/ - refresh the page and you should be golden. S
