ryan1298 Posted September 30, 2005 Posted September 30, 2005 I am brand new to this great project and actually just got it installed tonight. However, I am wondering how to add a password to the ADMN area. For example when you go to http://www.mywebsite.net/catalog/admin/ how do I get it to require a password insted of just going right to the ADMIN area. Thanks in advance and you guys and gals have a great thing going keep it up, thumbsup.gif -Ryan
sitehatchery.com Posted October 4, 2005 Posted October 4, 2005 Did you ever get a reply to this? I'm having the same problem. It use to require a password, but for some reason I cannot get it to password protect. I am brand new to this great project and actually just got it installed tonight.

♥Vger Posted October 4, 2005 Posted October 4, 2005 Previously said - many times - try using the Password Protection or Directory Protect feature in your web hosting control panel. If you don't have this feature - then it's time to start writing .htaccess and .htpasswd files. Vger
sitehatchery.com Posted October 5, 2005 Posted October 5, 2005 I figured it out. Actually, you just need to go to where your files are stored on your web server. There should be an option with your host to password protect a file or directory. You just select the file and choose to protect it.

korfx04@s Posted October 5, 2005 Posted October 5, 2005 A Great mind once told me...... Just rename the admin folder to something that only you will remember like GB04BJ316
