There is no admin password or any other security for the admin area until you explicitly add them.

 

Be well,

Thanks by your reply Tina,

 

So Tina, osC is requesting me a login name and password, its amazing, mainly without a FTP enviroment.

The DB was imported (from a FTP - online version) and the same way, needs a login name and password, but the data used on that account is not freeing the use of admin area.

I tryed PHPMyAdmin, and reinstallations too, but i do not found the admin_table mentioned in other post.

 

Please, do you have another idea how to solve this ?

 

Thank YOU, pretty woman from the pretty photo :-)

It sounds like you have inherited an install of osC, which is the core of your problems. Since you are installing it locally I'm making the assumption that you are doing so because you want to explore it. I would strongly suggest that you download a fresh version of the application and start from scratch.

 

I would even further recommend that you get yourself a regular web host on a Linux platform to work with the system. That's not to say I am anti Windows, quite the contrary, however I am pro using the best environment for the application. In my opinion for osC that happens to be Linux.

 

Be well,

I was changing osC online, just at my live store.

To preserve the security, i install it at my hd and just began the problems.

Hmmm... i made a copy from my MS2 installed at my server (just Linux), i think it is not corrupted.

But You are helping me strongly, making me thinking about the source of package.

 

As You can see or read, please excuse my English :-(

 

Tks ! :-)

Hi wizart_dk !

 

Your problem appear to be more simple.

Create or change your .htaccess file(s) in root or all folders at your catalog/server. This file controls access.

The common contents of the .htaccess files have this:

<Files *.php>

Order Deny,Allow

Deny from all

</Files>

 

You can change .htaccess by FTP and simple text editor (like Notepad).

If you have cpanel in your server, it have this feature too.

Please test after these changes, to avoid wrong access to your catalog !

** Make backup before !

 

I hope this helps you, wizart_dk !

 

Greetings !
