abra123cadabra Posted December 8, 2006 Posted December 8, 2006 The big question is if your admin ever was protected and how. Did you add a .htaccess and pw to your admin folder or did you add a login contribution? There are so many different versions around, specially with the scripts webhosts offer now, that it's impossible to tell if you have the original (unprotected) version or anything else. Just elaborate a bit more of what osC you got. abra The First Law of E-Commerce: If the user can't find the product, the user can't buy the product. Feedback and suggestions on my shop welcome.

Make sure that you always BACKUP the database and the files you are going to change so that you can rollback to a working version if things go wrong.
jasonabc Posted December 8, 2006 Posted December 8, 2006 So go into your web hosting control panel and password protect the directory again... Jason My Contributions: Paypal Payflow PRO | Rollover Category Images | Authorize.net Invoice Number Fix
Ozguru Posted December 8, 2006 Author Posted December 8, 2006 Ok elaberating Yes osc 2.2 when it was first installed i had to logon with username and password there are no mods the user name and password where set on installation of osc and the pssword and username are still reqired to access the main domain for frontpage of the websight and the cpanel but not when i go to edit the shop /store/admin is this enough info ?
abra123cadabra Posted December 10, 2006 Posted December 10, 2006 Sounds as if you only used your admin from within your password protected cpanel and that it was not really protected from the outside world. Just protect the admin directory from within the cpanel and maybe add an admin login contribution. abra The First Law of E-Commerce: If the user can't find the product, the user can't buy the product.

If your admin cookie is still present you will not be challenged to log in because of it. Don't give up. I see light ahead...!
