OsCommerce Login

[Guest]

My oscommerce/admin page doesn't ask for a login, what can I do?

You can create a .htaccess file in admin directory.

I am new to oscommerce so how would I create this file?

Here is a simple way to protect your admin page...

I feel like a total idiot, were can I find my phpuserlogin.php file. The manual wasn't helpful for me, I am still below the language.

Authorization Required

This server could not verify that you are authorized to access the document requested. Either you supplied the wrong credentials (e.g., bad password), or your browser doesn't understand how to supply the credentials required.

 

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

 

 

I can protect this oscommerce/admin from my control and it then asks for a password but comes up the the error above.

I found the .htaccess file you were talking about and this is what it says

 

.htaccess

File Type: ASCII text

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

# -FrontPage-

 

IndexIgnore .htaccess */.??* *~ *# */HEADER* */README* */_vti*

 

 

order deny,allow

deny from all

allow from all

Hi Sarah,

 

To use apache .htaccess facilities there are 2 basic files that you create.

 

1. .htaccess - this file does following stuff.

- defines which files/directories need to be password protected

- defines which users can access those files (i.e. valid users in your passwd file)

- defines the full path of the .htpasswd file that contains the user name you want

 

2. .htpasswd - the file that contains valid user names and passwords you want

 

The following post has very good details on how to set these files up.

The following URL is the Apache doc on .htaccess for late night reading :)

When what do you do when you have a windows server :wacko:

[OceanRanch]

If you mean IIS for a webserver, then just use the standard IIS user based authentication under IIS.

 

If you mean Apache running on a windows server then everything is the same except that of course your /'s become \'s etc. .htaccess works very nicely under windows.

Took 2 minutes to install and works a treat.
