spark Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 I am in the beginning stages of putting up my commerce site. Bought my oscommerce template from template monster. Am able to edit PHP and HTML, etc. I want to put the site up (perhaps password-protected?) but not have it accessible by spiders or accidental would-be customers. I don't want to test on my PC as I have no SQL or Apache server. My hosting service does. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natewlew Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 The only sure way is to pass protect it. I you want to be the only person looking at it, that is what you should do. Otherwise you could put a robots.txt in the directory where you store is. Just search Google for blocking bots with robots.txt. Other great Open Source (Free) programs: (Free as in free speech not free beer) The Gimp - An image program. | Firefox - All you have to do is add the Web Developer add-on to make this web browser complete. | FileZilla - An ftp program. | Inkscape - A good program to create images with. | Thunderbird - An email program. | Openoffice.org - An office suite that is compatible with MS Office. | Abiword - Another office suite. | Audacity - A sound recording tool. | ddp's Picks | Wordpress - An easy to use blogging software. | Joomla - An easy to use CMS that has ecommerce plug-ins. | Drupal - Another CMS How do I find these programs? Google Search! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
