User/ Password admin.cgi

I forget user name and password to admin.cgi. Can you tell me where to find it?

http://www.mydomain.com/...inks/admin/admin.cgi

Thanks

You need to go into FTP, and delete the .htaccess files. A simple way to do this, is log in via CuteFTP, goto the admin folder....and type a custom command saying;

DELE .htaccess

and then

DELE .htpasswd

Then, upload the attached script to your admin folder, CHMOD to 755, and run. You will be asked for a password, which is 'password'. Then just setup your new .htaccess password protection via that script...

Hope that helps

In your admin directory there should be two files, named htaccess and htpasswd. Make backups of those (just in case...), then remoce them from the admin directory. Now go to your admin, it should have the "unprotected" warning again, and you can create a new username/password.

Don't forget the "."

PerFlunkie,

I deleted those two files. I got this warning message to my Links 2.0 Administration Menu:

"WARNING: ADMIN Directory is not Password Protected!!"

How do I create a new user and password?



Thanks

Use the Ace Password Protector, posted by Andy just above here. It is easy to use, and has good instructions.

I got this message :

"There was an error. It was:

There was an error writing to .htaccess. /cgi-bin/links/admin/.htaccess. Reason : No such file or directory"

Did you read the instructions? You need to upload and/or create ".htaccess" and ".htpassword" which are empty files. CHMOD to 666. The script does not create these files, it just writes to them.


Edit; I just read the readme posted above, and find that it is for version 3, while I use version 2. The current (v3) readme does not tell you to upload/create the files, but from looking at the cgi code, it looks like you still need to do so.



So, I understand why you were unclear on that point...

That doesn't look like a full path You need a full one, like ou have in links.cfg, where you define the admin area.
