Need help with some minor Probs

[levon666]

Hi.

Hope somebody can help me here...

I installed osCommerce v2.2ms1 today and the installation was a breeze, had no problems at all.

However. when i type in the url example : http://www.mysitename.com/admin ,,,, i can get to the admin page/section without being asked for a username and password. Is this right ?

Another thing, when i type this url into my browser,,, http://www.mysitename.com/catalog ,, i get an error message which says : Forbidden

You don't have permission to access /catalog/ on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

 

But if i type this in my browser : http://www.mysitename.com/catalog/default.php ,,,,, it takes me to the store front. What have i done wrong ?

Can someone please help ?

Yes, thats right, you have to install an admin login mod if you want it to be somewhat protected. Also you should change the admin folder to a different, unguessable name.

As far as I know, thats standard.
