Send me your global and functions files...

And how would I do this on a Linux server? I know absolutely nothing about .htaccess.

Firstly, create a file inside you admin directory called .htaccess with the following content:

Code:

AuthUserFile path-to-admin-dir/.htpasswd
AuthName "vBulletin Administrator Control Panel"
AuthType Basic

<Limit GET POST>
require valid-user
</Limit>

Change path-to-admin-dir to the path to the admin directory on the server, and then create a file called .htpasswd and visit: http://www.xs4all.nl/~remcovz/htpasswd.html to generate what you should put in this file.

You will then be prompted with a popup security box that you have to enter the username and password before any files in the admin directory can be viewed.

Would the path to the admin dir just be "admin" then?

No, it needs to be the full path on the server, if you don't know that path, visit member2.php in your forums directory, this will give you a fatal error and the path to member2.php.

If you replace member2.php with admin thats the path to the admin directory

I tried that and all I got was a blank page with the word "done" in the status bar.

Would it be the same path as for my FTP?

They must have changed it since 2.2.4

This should work, visit admin/index.php?action=phpinfo and search for DOCUMENT_ROOT that gives the path to the root of your domain, ie www.yoursite.com, then just add the path to the forums admin after it, eg /forums/admin

LOL This just isn't my day.

It tells me NO Value on that.

Will this work?

how about this.
at the end of the first line of one of the index.php's, add some random characters. Upload it and run it. It will give you the path to the file
