admin .htaccess

[Crunch]

In the admin folder .htaccess file, the following was added (I assume during the install process) at the bottom:

AuthName "admin"
AuthUserFile "/home/username/.htpasswds/public_html/old_zencart_directory/admin/passwd"

That folder path exists on server, but the actual cart install folder has been moved to another folder and the admin folder has been renamed.

Should this be removed from the .htaccess file as it doesn't actually match my zen cart location anymore?

Zen Cart DOES NOT automatically add any "AuthName" or "AuthUserFile" parameters at install time or any other time.

Those lines must have been added by you or by your website hosting control panel by attempting to set a password on that folder.

Your options:
a) delete those lines
b) update those lines
Either can be done manually or via your hosting control panel.

Again, Zen Cart has NO interaction with those settings at all.

Thanks for jogging my memory... A year ago when I first installed zen cart, I had set a password on the admin folder via cPanel.

I'll delete this from the .htaccess.

Thanks.
