♥geoffreywalton Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 I would recommend deleting it and installing a later version, at least 2.3.1 and preferably 2.3.3 which has htaccess integrated to the admin sign in. Failing that read and implement this. http://www.oscommerce.com/forums/topic/313323-how-to-secure-your-oscommerce-22-site/ HTH G Need help installing add ons/contributions, cleaning a hacked site or a bespoke development, check my profile Virus Threat Scanner My Contributions Basic install answers.

♥kymation Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 Your hast probably has anti-spam measures in place that will prevent you from sending email through their server from outside their data center. Ask them if there is a way to make this work. As @@geoffreywalton said, you are playing with a very old, obsolete version of osCommerce. Why are you doing this? This old version is much more difficult to work with, and you won't find as much support here as you will for current versions. If your purpose is to build a working store, delete that old code and download the current version from this site. Regards Jim See my profile for a list of my addons and ways to get support.
