catisfaction Posted May 21, 2007 Posted May 21, 2007 I started working on my store yesterday, today I find a random product has been added by somebody... somehow... I know it's not one of the demo ones that is in there with the template as I removed all of those and this was in a catagory I created. Anyways I deleted it, and it's no biggie. but what is a biggie is that someone else was able to get into my store and edit something. How do I prevent this from occuring?

How do I prevent this from occuring? can you access your admin without adding any password at www.yourdomain.co.uk/admin? Regards Mark A Reynolds
catisfaction Posted May 21, 2007 Author Posted May 21, 2007 Aha, that would be a yes. Is there a way for me to set a password? Thanks for your swift reply btw. Cat
crash3903 Posted May 21, 2007 Posted May 21, 2007 Aha, that would be a yes. Is there a way for me to set a password? Thanks for your swift reply btw. Cat You can either protect the admin directory via your control panel or install the admin with access levels contribution ;) Regards Mark A Reynolds
catisfaction Posted May 21, 2007 Author Posted May 21, 2007 Thanks, I'll see if I can do it through the CP I don't have ftp access yet so I can't actually use any contributions till I get that sorted out *Groan*
catisfaction Posted May 22, 2007 Author Posted May 22, 2007 I haven't been able to find a way to set a password in my CP, would this be in the oscommerce CP? Or in my Host CP? Can anyone give me a nudge in the right direction? Sorry to be a bother but I really am trying! Cat

Cat Morning Helen Your hosting control panel will have a facility to set a password on the admin folder If you have any problems then let me know Mark Regards Mark A Reynolds
Helvetica2 Posted May 22, 2007 Posted May 22, 2007 Mark, could I jump in here and - as another damsel in distress - ask where the hosting control panel is ? (sorry if that is a stupid question) Would that be on my server itself (there's something called a Plesk Desk on my server which I can access) Morning Helen Your hosting control panel will have a facility to set a password on the admin folder If you have any problems then let me know Mark

(sorry if that is a stupid question) Would that be on my server itself (there's something called a Plesk Desk on my server which I can access) Hi Dane - No problem jumping in :) Yes Plesk will be your control panel and you should be able to protect the admin directory from within there I don't use Plesk for my hosting accounts so I can't really say where it will be but there will be an option in there some where Hope that helps EDIT: Try this tutorial Regards Mark A Reynolds
