ozcsys Posted February 17, 2006 Posted February 17, 2006 can you go in to a bit of details plz...? Or you could look in the knowledge base Persistent Connections Persistent connections may improve the performance of dedicated servers that experience high loads. Persistent connections should not be enabled for installations on shared hosting servers as it will usually degrade the performance instead of improving it. Session Storage The session data osCommerce uses on a per customer basis can either be stored in the database or on the web server as files. It is recommended for shared hosting servers to use database session storage due to security related issues. File based session storage improves performance but is only recommended for dedicated servers. Most web hosting sites are NOT dedicated servers. The Knowledge Base is a wonderful thing.

ozcsys Posted February 17, 2006 Posted February 17, 2006 I was also wondering, where is the option to se tthe .htaccess to secure the admin area with a PWD, can't find it anywhere.. thx osC does not come with password protection by default. The easiest way to do it is go to your hosting control panel and look for password protect directories and protect it from there. If that is not available you can look in the knowledge base HERE for some info on setting it up manually. Your other choice is to install one of the contributions that will protect it as well.

You could wait 15 hours for someone to give you the answer or you could do a google search and find the answer in 30 seconds Look HERE for a complete tutorial on using .htaccess for password protecting a directory. If that one does not work for you you can try the one found HERE or do a google search as there are a lot of them The Knowledge Base is a wonderful thing. Do you have a problem?
