je_1972 Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 Hi, I hope someone can help. About 6 months ago I had someone create an oscommerce installation for me. There were a lot of things that I had been promised that never materialised and sadly we ended up being unable to communicate effectively with one another :( The whole thing left such a bad taste in my mouth that I didn't really bother with the shop and only added a few items. It has sat for many months gathering virtual dust! Today out of the blue we received an order, after I worked out what was happening I was actually amazed and very excited. My problem is that since I and my web dev fell out I amended the admin login screen to be contained within a password protected folder on my hosting (I did this after reading advice on how to make your oscommerce store more secure) Now when I try to update the status of the order, it fails, I don't get any error message, just a blank screen but the url contains the folder name that I have placed the admin log in page within on my host, could it be that which is causing the failure? it is displaying like so www.mystorename.com/mysecurefolder/orders.php?page=1&oID=8&action=edit&osCAdminID=5a6e1fa9ce1fb23a3a0ca8d3129929aa when I refresh it stays blank and when I navigate back to eth order page the order status is not updated. Any help would be gratefully received. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should I be checking the permissions on the folders? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FIMBLE Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 This version should be a log in page over an .htaccess one. from what you describe you have both? Perhaps you need to check your configure.php file admin / includes / configure.php Nic Sometimes you're the dog and sometimes the lamp post [/url] My Contributions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps you need to check your configure.php file admin / includes / configure.php Nic Hi nic I don't really understand the part about ".htaccess", if I'm honest I dont even know what that means, sorry. Originally I renamed the admin folder to something only I would know, then password protected that folder via my web host, so that to get to the oscommerce login, you have to get past the folder password. I checked my configure.php folder and far as I can see the only place that admin is referenced relates to my unique folder name as below - define('DIR_WS_ADMIN', '/myuniquename/'); define('DIR_FS_ADMIN', '/******/******/****/***.********/admin/'); (I have not amended that one it still points to wherever it pointed to before because the url looked to me to be related to a different admin folder in another part of the server) Is that ok? Thanks Again J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FIMBLE Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 HI Jade, When you changed the name of the admin folder did you also change the confgiure files in admin to reflect this?
