toddring Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 Hello all, I hope someone can help with this issue. Recently one of my clients emaild me and said that thier admin area is unsecure. When I navigated to thier site /admin, sure enough it did not prompt for a username or password to enter the admin area. Does anyone have an idea on what could have changed? I am at a loss why all of a sudden this has changed. Thanks in advance, Todd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toddring Posted December 6, 2009 Author Share Posted December 6, 2009 Someone accidentally removed the .htaccess file. No. there is a .htaccess file in the Admin dir. I am seeing this in Dreamweaver. I do not see it however when using the cpanel file manager. I have add a stop gap solution to password protect the directory for the time being. Thanks Todd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
