e-Discounters Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 I have mistakenly deleted the ".htpasswd_oscommerce" file and don't have a copy of the file. Now I can't get access to my osCommerce Administration tool. Is there any suggestions or solutions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngusD Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Hi, you could download the .htaccess-file in your admin-directory and uncomment or remove the parts for the password protection. Something like this and add # in front of each line: ##### OSCOMMERCE ADMIN PROTECTION - BEGIN ##### AuthType Basic AuthName "osCommerce Online Merchant Administration Tool" AuthUserFile /{YOUR}/{PATH}/{TO}/{PASSWORDFILE}/.htpasswd_oscommerce Require valid-user ##### OSCOMMERCE ADMIN PROTECTION - END ##### In the same process, create an empty file. Just create a new text-document in your text-editor and save it as ".htpasswd_oscommerce". Upload both files, the edited ".htaccess" and the empty ".htpasswd_oscommerce", to your server in their respective directories. Check, if both files are writeable. Now, you should be able to access your admin-area again, hopefully. Go to the "Administrators"-Configuration, edit your Admin-account and save it with a new password. Don't forget to check the "Protect With htaccess/htpasswd" checkbox. This should fill your ".htpasswd_oscommerce" and enable the .htaccess-protection again. I would suggest, you download both files again - ".htaccess" and ".htpasswd_oscommerce" - and set both files on your server to not-writeable. Hope this helps.
