nobsil Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 Please Help...my admin area is open to hackers, how do I fix this :-( If you are using Apache web server, you can use .htaccess file to protect your admin directory. That's the quick fix. Maybe there are login features on the contributions section but I'm not sure about that. try this: http://www.modwest.com/help/kb1-32.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supersprint Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 My admin directory is also unsecure. I don't understand what I need to do to the .htaccess file to make this all secure :( Help appreciated ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supersprint Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 ok so I have configured the .htaccess file and now the admin area asks for a username and password. Job done there. But the .htpasswd file is causing trouble. Where do I place this? Should be 1 level above my shops route in a secure location??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgarite Posted February 3, 2007 Author Share Posted February 3, 2007 I figured out my issue, in the admin configuration.php, just set the first line to https instead of http Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ace21gabriel Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 To secure your admin go to modifications and just type admin security and get an admin user and pass its like 4 mins to set up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supersprint Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 I found the answer to this in another thread on this forum. I just went to my 1and1 control panel and protected the catalog/admin directory :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
