Today when I checked my website...admin folder was not accessible...when I log onto my cpanel account, I was shocked to find out that my admin folder was deleted somehow!!! What's the reason, can anyone explain??? I am a newbie please guide...I have not installed any security contribution, please also recommend me some contributions so that I can save my website from future attacks....

Thanks Chris..Really appreciated...Now, I have installed all the contributions which were suggested in those threads..But I am really afraid of changing the admin folder's name..I have made it password protected through cpanel.I have installed almost 40 contributions and I don't wanna loose my site again...Should I still change the folder name? If 'yes', Will it hurt my other installed contributions? Please help..

Hi,

 

None of your other contributions should refer to your admin folder by name.

 

Back-Up your entire site.

 

Remove Password protection from your admin folder

 

Change the name of your admin folder (from Cpanel) - use something obscure

 

Change all references to your admin folder from includes/configure.php, admin/includes/configure.php and any additional configure.php files that may be in Local Folders.

 

Test your site

 

Password protect the new name admin folder from cpanel.
