Danman108 Posted June 8, 2004 Share Posted June 8, 2004 Hey everybody! I've just installed the script. I have two problems. a) I keep getting a message that my includes/configure.php is not secured. I have CHMOD it to many things -- even 000! I still get the message. I'm on a Red Hat server. B) I want to secure the administration area, but if I rename the folder, then none of the links work in the admin panel. Any ideas? :blink: :huh: Great script otherwise!! :) :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlyingMonkey Posted June 8, 2004 Share Posted June 8, 2004 chmod to 444, so that it is read only. the admin panel can be secured by writing an .htaccess file. I suggest reading up on the wiki docs and http://www.oscommerce.info/ cheers! Most likely your question has been answered, please do a search first.

Danman108 Posted June 8, 2004 Author Share Posted June 8, 2004 a) I have tried 444. Still no luck. Warning: I am able to write to the configuration file: /home/dwcnet/public_html/shopvertise/catalog/includes/configure.php. This is a potential security risk - please set the right user permissions on this file. B) .htacess, will do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
