farhan91 Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 Hey, does anyone know how to password protect the admin directory of osCommerce software. I am using a template os osCommerce and after install, the admin was fully unlocked and I want to know how I can password protect it. If anyone knows how I can do this, Please share it here and explane all the steps needed to set it up. I am no experience with this and is a first time I am doing this. If you know, can you please explane in the most detail. Thiis is that osCommerce Template I am using that didn't come with an automatic password protection system. http://www.almat-computers.co.uk/oscommerce-sports-store-template-p-38.html Please and Thank You. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonathanR Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 TOPIC BUMPED! Hi farhan. I was going to link a specific site to help you with this, but I would think it safer for me to suggest you do a websearch for "Protect directory with htaccess" or something similar. It is a sever side thing you need to do within the osC admin folder, and can be quite tricky, needing you to create two text files (htaccess and htpasswd). My ISP was a great help though, and even provide a facility to create jumbled code for my passwords for even more security. You will need something like BBEdit to create the files, because anything that starts with a full-stop, as htaccess files do, can't generally be seen on the system. There is a snippet or two on how to protect your files within these forums too. Do another search for htaccess. HTH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
