Rookie Mistake---In trouble

[flyhead]

On Sunday I was trying to hyperlink an image on the homepage to some text about our Rush Services. I was only able to get the image to link but wanted username & password---Clearly a problem. Germ and lindsay were trying to assist, but not before I had the issue of everytime you went to the URL it would ask for username & password again. This could of been happening even when I was working on the hyperlink but since it was already in my cache I was unaware. I have looked at the files I modified top.cfm and emergencytext.cfm(the text about rush services) and can not figure it out. I have since uploaded the old original files but am still having the problem of asking for username & PW when you enter the URL. In trouble any ideas.

 

URL www.masterdatachecks.com

 

Thanks

Link was not working.

www.masterdatachecks.com <-- asking for username and password

 

Looking at your previos thread, I think you still have htaccess file or you password protected your whole site.

Bruce--Can you give me any direction on what I should be looking for? I believe I was in top.cfm and another file I created called emergencyservice.cfm. I deleted the emergencyserivce.cfm file and uploaded the last original file I saved for the top.cfm. Any advice?

Steve, check in your root (or catalog, or shop) directory for a .htpasswd file ... if you have one of these then you have password protected your store ... you simply need to remove this .htpasswd file and then modify your .htaccess file in THE SAME DIRECTORY and remove the section where it states that authentication is required

If you dont have a .htpasswd file still check your .htaccess file ... you might've added authentication required in there ..

 

N.B - BE REAL CAREFUL WITH THE .htaccess FILE ... IF YOU REMOVE OR EDIT THE WRONG THING IN HERE YOUR IN TROUBLE!!

There is no htpasswd in the public/catalog file. However there is a htpasswd in my catalog admin file. I do not know if this helps but here is the the htaccess for the public/catalog file.

Nope doesnt look like your .htaccess file is password protecting your store ... you might have your config files mixed up..

 

paste your /admin/includes/configure.php and your /includes/configure.php files

[germ]

I think it is a .htaccess problem.

 

I also think yoiu've just posted in the wrong one.

 

You pasted in this one: /public/catalog

 

That's not the "root".

 

The .htaccess file causing the problem is in the root folder.

 

I know a .htaccess login box when I see one, and that's what comes up on the screen.

 

At least it sure looks like one to me.

:blush:

Germ--I am sure it gets old assisting us youngsters, but what exactly should I be looking for in the public/catalog file?

 

Thanks

[germ]

Nothing.

 

The one (.htaccess file) you want should be in /public

[flyhead]

Germ--It is probably me I have post the htaccess file under the /public and nothing looks out of the norm. What do you think?

 

Thanks

Germ--Here is the .htaccess file for the public/catalog if that helps out.

Redirect /logo http://www.masterdatachecks.com/logo.cfm

What does logo.cfm do?

:unsure:

[flyhead]

I have no idea.

[flyhead]

It might be one of the logos we have on our home page. Should I fiddle with code? Maybe take it out?

[flyhead]

Germ for President!!!! I just took out that redirect and I am now in business. Thanks a million. I have a feeling I am going to be telling you that all the time.

 

Thanks

[germ]

Well gee....

:blush:

 

What a happy accident.

:lol:

 

I really don't know anything about Cold Fusion files (that's what ".cfm" files are).

 

I thought maybe it was some sort of logon script, but it's not.

 

Anyway, nice to have you "up and running" again!

;)
