Additional Protection With htaccess/htpasswd

[thebobguy]

Hello,

Im getting this alert:

 

"is osCommerce Online Merchant Administration Tool installation is not additionally secured through htaccess/htpasswd means.

The following files need to be writable by the web server to enable the htaccess/htpasswd security layer:

• /home2/sogamobi/public_html/admin/.htaccess
  
• /home2/sogamobi/public_html/admin/.htpasswd_oscommerce
  

Reload this page to confirm if the correct file permissions have been set."

 

 

I was told to delete htpasswd_oscommerce so i delete it, but for .htacess i even tried making the permission to max which is 777 and it still showing this alert, how can i get this gone.

This is the full alert:

 

Additional Protection With htaccess/htpasswd

This osCommerce Online Merchant Administration Tool installation is not additionally secured through htaccess/htpasswd means.

Enabling the htaccess/htpasswd security layer will automatically store administrator username and passwords in a htpasswd file when updating administrator password records.

Please note, if this additional security layer is enabled and you can no longer access the Administration Tool, please make the following changes and consult your hosting provider to enable htaccess/htpasswd protection:

1. Edit this file:

 

/home2/sogamobi/public_html/admin/.htaccess

Remove the following lines if they exist:

##### OSCOMMERCE ADMIN PROTECTION - BEGIN #####

AuthType Basic

AuthName "osCommerce Online Merchant Administration Tool"

AuthUserFile /home2/sogamobi/public_html/admin/.htpasswd_oscommerce

Require valid-user

##### OSCOMMERCE ADMIN PROTECTION - END #####

2. Delete this file:

 

/home2/sogamobi/public_html/admin/.htpasswd_oscommerce

I received the same message after a clean new install. I could not find the answer to either question. I did, however, delete the .htpasswd_oscommerce file and I did open the .htaccess file but the content that was shown to delete was not there.

 

Now I get this message and I am stuck...
