Hi there

Is there a way to secure your admin.php file.
I made a .htaccess on my admin dir.

But that has no effect , cause you only need
to write www.yourdomain.com/admin.php to get to the admin part.

I would like to have my admin.php inside a secure/htaccess protected dir.
So that the first login will be a htpasswd. - and next the
Quick.CMS admin.php login site

Hope you can help me

Hi i figured out at way.

Delete / or save the admin.php file on your pc.
when you are not editing the site.

And the upload it again, when you want to edit the site. :)
( The old school way ) .. ha ha

Is there really no other way ?

But that would just provide two levels of password - i.e. admin will be required to login twice - is that what you want?

Is the login for the CMS not enough?

Hi gwmbox

I dont mind the 2 login sessions.
Whats is important for me is to secure the admin.php file.

The Admin /dir. i can lock with a Htaccess

webactor - how do you lock a directory with a Htaccess? I never tried that. Give code example please.

Hi cgan!

Here is a .htaccess password protection code generator:

webactor - agree the htaccess would in my view be more secure but I think my clients would get annoyed having to login twice...
