Beginner help

Hello,

 

I installed my oscommerce on one of my computers and everything is ok but what i can't find out is how to put pwd on my admin page.

In www/admin/includes/configure.php i have this:

// define our database connection

define('DB_SERVER', '192.168.2.102'); // eg, localhost - should not be empty for productive servers

define('DB_SERVER_USERNAME', 'root');

define('DB_SERVER_PASSWORD', '');

define('DB_DATABASE', 'shop');

define('USE_PCONNECT', 'false'); // use persisstent connections?

define('STORE_SESSIONS', ''); // leave empty '' for default handler or set to 'mysql'

 

If i put a pwd in define('DB_SERVER_PASSWORD', ''); i can't access the admin page anymore.

Where can i configure my pwd for the admin page?

 

If anyone knows please help.

:D

This must be done using .htaccess - osCommerce does not have a built in admin user/password.

hello Matti,

 

Can u explain that better?

Im really a begginer.

I edited the .htaccess in www\admin but i don't understand what i need to do there.

 

Thanks

Usually your host will have a link on their control panel to password protect directories, that is the easiest way to do it.
