dumbassgeek Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 Hi, After reading about security I just want to check that my security is OK. Firstly is there a list of what the CHMOD of the files should be in your store? Secondly the .htaccess file you download with oscommerce is that all you need? What does it do? I can create a .htaccess file in the control panel of my hosting. Do I need to do this instead? If I was going to create one with my cpanel what folders do I need to protect? I really need a complete guide for dummies as I'm not sure what I am looking for. The site was set up for me and I want to check that what was created is 100% OK for security. I just need the information so I can check what is done to know it is correct. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dittones Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 Geek, .htaccess is a security that is supplied by apache server...Any dir you have .htaccess in will prompt you for a userid and password...Yes set it up using cpanel. Chmod...need to set your programs to read only...some like tmp where you are going to I/O need to set to read/write access only 755 will set for read only...If you google linux chmod you should get the chmod codes... Also I would rename the admin to something else...and of course update the admin/include/configure.php name to the new name...Then no one will know how to get to your admin side except you and anyone you tell... I hope this helps ROman dittone.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
