Hello,

I want to implement the osC_Sec addon but I am stuck. I am using osCommerce 2.2-MS2 and PHP Version 4.4.9 on web.com

1) I have 1 .htaccess file in the html directory which has me stuck using php 4 and it looks like this

DirectoryIndex catalog/index.php
# THE TWO LINES BELOW WERE ADDED BY WEB.COM SO THAT YOUR SITE USES PHP4 INSTEAD OF PHP5
AddHandler php4-script .php
Action php4-script /system-cgi/php4

everytime I try to comment out of the php4 call the website loads but i am stuck at the home page. when i click a category link it just shows the homepage. if i click on a new product on the home page it says product not found. other pages like advanced_search.php and contact_us.php seam to load okay.

2) I have another .htaccess file in html/catalog and it looks like this

DirectoryIndex index.php
php_flag register_globals on

3) i also have another .htaccess file in the html/catalog/admin directory

DirectoryIndex index.php

#Declare authorization type as basic.
AuthType Basic

#Define location of users, and groups.
#In this case, we won't use a group file.

AuthUserFile /home/cluster1/data/z/h/a924595/userfile
AuthGroupFile /dev/null

#Define the name of the resource --
#this is what users will see in the "password" dialog box.

AuthName "Request Admin Access"

#Tell the Web server to which directory you want to limit access.


Require valid-user /home/cluster1/data/z/h/a924595/html/catalog/admin



Any idea where to go from here or what I am doing wrong?

Thanks, Brad

@Brad LaSalle,

The short and nasty of it is........it's time to update to a new version of osCommerce. The fact that your hosting provider is still offering PHP 4.x should tell you, that you also need to change hosting providers.

If you want to upgrade osc from php version 4.9 to 5.2 there are some code changes that need to be made.

If you do not want to upgrade make sure your admin directory is secured as per the sticky threads at the start of the 2.2 security forum.

Welcome to the forum.
