Hi there, i was using the admin panel in oscomm to update some security lapses, and i was prompted to enable http authentication by clicking a box that said "Protect With htaccess/htpasswd" and now the whole admin panel is down with a 404 error

ideally i'd just like to undo what i did

Thank you for any advice you may have for me!

.htpasswd_oscommerce

Cut and paste this file from your Admin folder to somewhere backed up. I believe that should allow you back in.

in the htacess file i noticed these lines:

AuthType Basic
AuthName "osCommerce Online Merchant Administration Tool"
AuthUserFile******************************/store/catalogue/admin_fprre4k2y33/.htpasswd_oscommerce
Require valid-user

is this something related?

I"m back in!

Thank you so much for all your help!

I'm still learning all the little quirks of oscomm, so this was very helpful

thanks again!
