Httaccess Tutorial...

Create a file in text editor and name it { .htaccess } then insert example info with your server path as stated below in examples. Check with your HOST for correct path to forums folders... Also U can use your HOST control panel to create these...

After finding correct path copy and paste in one of the examples below and then copy to .htaccess file and save.

Upload to folder U want to protect with User AuthName...

Next you will need to creat a password { .htpasswd } file.
Check below for more on .htpasswd files...


Example info below
*******************

# Begin password protection #
AuthName "Type in site info or whatever here"
Require valid-user
AuthUserFile "/home/users/web/htdocs/forums/ftp_unix/.htpasswd"
AuthType basic
# End password protection #

*******************

# Begin password protection #
AuthName "Type in name here"
Require valid-user
AuthUserFile "/home/users/web/x123/htdocs/forums/ftp_unix/.htpasswd"
AuthType basic
# End password protection #

********************

# Begin password protection #
AuthName "Type in name or whatever here"
Require valid-user
AuthUserFile "/home/users/htdocs/forums/ftp_unix/.htpasswd"
AuthType basic
# End password protection #

********************

# Begin password protection #
AuthName "Password Protected"
Require valid-user
AuthUserFile "/hsphere/local/home/siteuser_id/yoursite.org/forums/ftp_unix/.htpasswd"
AuthType basic
# End password protection #

********************


Creating a .htaccess password file is required to verify password to AuthName.

Create a text file and save it as { .htpasswd } then save and insert new password info created by password maker. Password should look like one of the examples below.

Thats it!

Example info below
*******************

siteadmin:96W2uYoO3AysI

webmaster:x23QymoKMvJ5I

admin:u6HPg4oKMvys4

sysmgr:8h7Iy3UrMv9CI


Its possible that your HOST coniguration may be somewhat different than info here. If so use your HOST's htaccess file creator.

Below are two links to help with creating passwords to AuthName .htaccess file.

Set an .htaccess username and password. That should be fine to protect your site with this script.

Guys and Gals 90% of Hacks and Mods can be potentially dangerous, anytime you work with files and scripts that require installing 2 database, direct access or file modifications there is a risk that something can or will go wrong.

Thats why somebody invented the TESTER to find these problems and resolve them as soon as possible.

Life would be great if everything released was perfect and flawless.

The best way to prevent issues and vunerabilities is to use best judgement and place security implementation into effect.

Change yo passwords every other month ( use numbers and letters )
Htaccess yo hot spots from hackers ( admincp and private folders )
Use tracking software to view whos accessing hot spots and verify ip address
Only allow trusted folks to yo Admin areas ( FBI Background check ) he he joke

Enjoy the forums...

It's in the admin area. If they get into that, your board is fu***ed. Anyway, if your careful, youll be fine.

Looking into other options. Keep hope ALIVE!
