twhiteside Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 After several hours of research, I've found several references, but no REAL directions. chmod means absolutely nothing to me. Can anyone give me directions (really blonde ones) on how to do this? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I log into my admin account on my host server and change it through the permissions options for the specific file that you want to change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sticky Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 Connect to the web server with your FTP program and right-click the specific file in question. You should get the option to change the "permissions"/"CHMOD" for the file. What is chmod? chmod is a Unix command that lets you tell the system how much (or little) access it should permit to a file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twhiteside Posted November 30, 2005 Author Share Posted November 30, 2005 Thanks, guys. Now what does this mean? "You need to .htaccess your /catalog/admin directory so that it is password protected. You can use the password manager in your server admin area like cpanel." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The "password manager" is in the admin section of your os commerce under "tools". catalog/admin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
