Belial Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 Hello! I am newbie and i really want to know how i can secure my site. The bad in this situation is i am not very good in all these things. I just added two contributions. That'a all. My OSC is 2.3.1 and now in my admin area it has a green colour that is ok with permissions i think. Any suggestions?

Guest Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 @@Belial A default installation of v2.3.1 REALLY doesn't need anything to be secure. There are no known vulnerabilties. However, there are some contributions that can be added to enhance the default security. Those are the same contributions as noted in the security forum for v2.2 RC2a.

♥14steve14 Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 After you renamed the admin folder, did you change the two confugure files. REMEMBER BACKUP, BACKUP AND BACKUP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belial Posted July 11, 2012 Author Share Posted July 11, 2012 What to change in these two configure files? Please be specific. Now i renamed again to admin and can't go to login panel. I get that Forbidden You don't have permission to access /admin/ on this server. Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

Belial Posted July 11, 2012 Author Share Posted July 11, 2012 Ok i did error on name folder. Now i can log in with admin. So, now what configure files i have to change if i rename the folder? Thanks a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
♥14steve14 Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 There are two configure files. One is in catalog/includes/configure, and the other is in catalog/admin/includes/configure. Just update any instances of admin to your new admin name and save the files. You may need to do this on your hosting account as the file permissions will need to be changes to something like 666 before you can edit and save the files. Change the permissions back once you have modified them. REMEMBER BACKUP, BACKUP AND BACKUP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belial Posted July 11, 2012 Author Share Posted July 11, 2012 I rename the admin folder. Then i changed the instances of catalog/admin/includes/configure and the permissions of file now is 644. The admin page works now with new folder name. The catalog/includes/configure file doesn't have any admin word to change. Only localhost and databases passwords. Am i ok now? Thanks for all Steve.

SpinerC Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 Hi, any help is greatly appreciated! I don't know how to lock down my site... when you do a search for "Diamond Sahara" this is what you see... Diamond Sahara www.diamondsahara.ca/Index of /. cgi-bin/ · favicon.ico. Apache Server at www.diamondsahara.ca Port 80. So I know, its wide open. I am a real NOOB :blink: at this compared to the older 1.something version I had till servers were updated and so now, I am trying to rebuild from scratch... took me all weekend to get as far as I am right now. Thank you in advance!!! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
