Hide admin for public

[R3b0rN]

Hello guys.

I cant figure out how to do it.

 

For example my site is :

 

http://MYownSITEl/Assortiment/catalog/index.php

 

If i change it to

 

http://MYownSITEl/Assortiment/catalog/admin/index.php

 

EVERYONE even the public can go to my admin stuff and change or break stuff.

How can i change this so only MY SELF can use / enter this section?

 

I hope someone can plz help me quickly!

 

Sincerely, Angelo

Put a .htaccess file in your admin folder and in addition I have changed all the server settings in admin/includes/configure.php to the secure addrees that you can get probably from your ISP support site.

Thank you very much for your quick response.

But I dont know anything about coding... (php in this case).

.htaccess I already have, but I dont know what to do further... what to put in .htaccess and so on....

 

.htaccess is in the admin map... but then how do I make it access only for me?

so public cannot enter it or change anything or whatever.

What I mean is, if I change the folder name (admin to for example MYNAME) then I can enter it BUT when i click on a link it gives error because the links are not right anymore... :'(

In addition to changing the name of the admin folder you also have to change the two references ot it in admin/includes/configure.php.

 

You need to change /admin/ to /newname/
