Security question
My web host says that he made some changes to the server to increase security.
I found this out because the define pages editor stopped working giving this message:
He advised me to make additions to the .htaccess file as follows and this solved the problem.
Can anybody advise if this change to the .htaccess file would adversely affect the security of my admin folder. If so I could still use dreamweaver to make future edits to the define pages.
Cheers
