Admin area is not asking for username and password

[toddring]

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

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

If it used to work then suddenly quit someone must have altered it.

 

Glad you have it sorted,
