Admin Panel Login Problem

[irishterri]

I had a problem with OSC that I couldn't fix so I decided to start again.

I re-installed OSC and set up .htaccess and password files, amended file permissions as instructed in OSC tutorial and secured OSC. I also renamed the Admin file.

When I log in to the Admin Panel, it won't let me in and gives following error message:

This server could not verify that you are authorized to access the document requested. Either you supplied the wrong credentials (e.g., bad password), or your browser doesn't understand how to supply the credentials required.

WHAT AM I DOING WRONG AND WHAT FILES AFFECT THE ADMIN PANEL LOGIN?

.htaccess and .htpasswd. osCommerce itself does not have any authentication for admin, unless you added a contribution that did it. (and if so, the symptom would be different.)

You still have made an error in your .htaccess or .htpasswd and must fix it.

I have now solved the Admin Problem and have gained access to the Admin Panel. Now I need to create a secure SSL connection. If I can't sort this I'll be back.

To do that, change the definition of HTTP_SERVER in your admin/includes/configure.php to use your https URL base, and use the https URL to access the admin panel.
