How to Password Protect the Joomla Administrator Directory With cPanel
One of the possible vulnerabilities of a Joomla website is the ability for a hacker to gain access to the administrator directory. A good way to help protect your site from getting hacked is to add username and password protection to your administrator directory. By adding this layer of security you will be prompted for a username and password TWICE when you try to access your admin area. The first prompt will be from the server requesting permission to access the administrator directory, and the second prompt will be from Joomla itself when you try and access the admin area directly. NOTE: The method described here will only work on a Unix/Linux server running Apache software. If you do not know what this means, contact your IT department or your internet service provider.
Before we go on, I am assuming that you already have a copy of Joomla installed and know how to access the administrator area and are familiar with it. Additionally, you should be familiar with cPanel and know how to access it as well.
Krugle: The New Search Engine Definitely Not for “The Rest of Us”
If you are not a full-fledged geek, AKA, programmer this is new tool is not
for you!
A Silicon Valley startup launched a search engine in March that will allow
developers to search for code and source code. Sorry Martha, (Steward that
is) I’m afraid your wonderfull “Docorating the Drive with Pink Lillies” will
not appear in the search engine result on this site.
The name of the engine is Krugle, and it will provide simple search for
retrieving information related to source code- as well as other techy info-
all from an easy to use, un-cluttered GUI.
