protecting admin area

[jsmith1]

I can goto the url /admin/

 

without loging in... how can password protect it?

 

Also, I was wondering how I can have a border or "line" around the site or table I have thats fixed width of 980. I don't know where to edit this.

 

thanks for your help :-"

The quickest way is to use the file manager in your web hosts control panel (not the admin filemanager) to protect the admin directory.

 

If you know how to set up a htaccess file, do it there.

 

The site width maybe in your stylesheet.css file.

Its also good to rename it from admin to something else unique which no one would ever guess

and then edit the configure.php files to reflect the change.

Only the one in the admin dir though ;)

I have also an older version, u have to get this contribution, that generates a .htaccess and .htpasswrd for you and then when you try to access the admin page it asks for name and password just like an ftp server.

There is a password contribution that I used on one of my sites. Search the contributions.

 

It requires a modification to the .htaccess file and the installation of one file in the admin directory (password.php)
