Stuntman Posted November 20, 2003 Share Posted November 20, 2003 I am a newbie to this software, and to MySQL and Linux in general (Yikes!!).. I have the package running (Hurray), but am not sure about the security (Oh no!). Could somebody please help me out on a couple issues? Thanks!!!!! 1) I assume there should be two mysql user accounts, one to be used in the catalog, and the other to be used by the admin.. as indicated in the /catalog/includes/configure.php and the /admin/includes/configure.php files.. What database rights should these two users have? 2) I want the /admin folder to be accessible ONLY via https and I want it password protected. I'm trying to figure out the .htaccess thing but so far have had no luck. Can anybody help me out with that? I'm sure it's something simple that I am missing.. but.. I can't believe the incredible completeness of this package! If not for my own ineptitude and questions, this would have been up and running perfectly in minutes! Thanks to everyone!!!!!!!

jpf Posted November 20, 2003 Share Posted November 20, 2003 1) Both should/could be the same - unless your running catalog and admin differnet servers..... The user should have read/write/modify rights. 2) Use HTACCESS to password protect the directory - in configure.php put http server the same as your https server. Good Luck!
