voldtaengler Posted April 28, 2005 Posted April 28, 2005 I was wondering how I would go about setting up locking the admin page from public view so they can't maliciously change anything ya know? I know I saw somewhere about it before but i cant remember for the life of me where i saw it at :blink: Thanks for the help!
Winterchild Posted April 28, 2005 Posted April 28, 2005 Of course you saw it before, it has been asked thousands of times before. Read the info in the knowledge base Not clear?

Search the forum for +secure +admin <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Heh...really sorry to frustrate you (sounded that way) i tried looking for it but never found it.. guess i was searching for the wrong keywords.... im new to all this (lousy excuse!) thanks for the info.. :thumbsup:
Winterchild Posted April 28, 2005 Posted April 28, 2005 Didn't really mean to sound frustrated. I could take your story two ways: I know the answer is on the forum, but I'm to lazy to use search or I don't know it exists or I searched, but I can't find it. Please help me find it I think this answer was right for both ^_^ Forum search Contributions search Documentation search (note: docs being adapted for MS3, may be different for MS2) 3 tips for better forum searching Want to post?

You were more correct on the second one..but I think I found a contrib. that might help.. if that doesnt do the trick off to more searching! :lol:

♥Vger Posted April 28, 2005 Posted April 28, 2005 Don't forget to rename the 'admin' folder to something unique (not admin2 or shopadmin), and then alter the two references in admin/includes/configure.php from /admin/ to /newname/ - before you password protect the folder. Before trying to install a .htaccess contribution - take a look around your web hosting control panel for something like Password Protection or Directory Protection. That will do all of the work for you. Vger
