bryanmc1988 Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 well i have a problem... i have a website running and anyone can get to the admin control panel login page by going to "mywebsite.com/admin" how can i hide this or change it so that they cant get to it unless they know it...? problem 2... when u visit my website... its shows in the url the path of the file for example... "mywebsite.com/register.php" when on the register page or like "mywebsite.com/sells.php" if on the sells page... how can i hide it so that only my website name is showing and not the path of the file?

marcus Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 1. Password protect the admin page, or maybe move it to a folder that isn't as easily accessible with the name "admin" 2. What's wrong with showing the file name? You could mod_rewrite, or a dynamic index page, so it would be website.com/sells or website.com/index.php?p=sells respectively Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyKay47 Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 well i have a problem... i have a website running and anyone can get to the admin control panel login page by going to "mywebsite.com/admin" how can i hide this or change it so that they cant get to it unless they know it...? If it requires a login, what is the issue? problem 2... when u visit my website... its shows in the url the path of the file for example... "mywebsite.com/register.php" when on the register page or like "mywebsite.com/sells.php" if on the sells page... how can i hide it so that only my website name is showing and not the path of the file? This isn't really a good idea as this would not be SEO friendly for crawling etc. Typically people hide the extension of the page to: 1. Add an extra layer of security 2. To create "Pretty URLS". To do the above, look into .htaccess and mod_rewrite Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bryanmc1988 Posted March 15, 2012 Author Share Posted March 15, 2012 what should i look for inside the .htaccess and mod_rewrite? and what should i change in side them? yes i want the url to look pretty like a girl ... but honestly no just so its more clean looking lol so i looked inside the .htaccess and all i can see is "RewriteEngine On RewriteRule ^(.*),(.*)$ $2.php?rewrite_params=$1&page_url=$2" and there is no mod_rewrite file anywhere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
