Securing Logaholic

The following information will guide you through securing your Logaholic directory and preventing others from accessing your data.

NOTE: Logaholic (SPE) Service Provider Edition users should use the built in user authentication system.'''

On Linux and/or Windows Desktop PC (Wampserver, Xamp or similar webserver environment).

We recommend using the .htaccess and .htpassword authentication provided by Apache.

For instructions on using .htaccess, see Apache htaccess Documentation.

An easy tool to generate all the necessary codes needed to password protect a directory or files on your site via .htaccess can be found at htaccess Password Generator.

On Windows IIS

If you are using Microsoft Internet Information Server (IIS), use Basic Directory Authentication.

Click here, For IIS 6. configuration, Basic Directory Authentication.

Click here, For IIS 7 configuration, Basic Directory Authentication.

Hosted Solution

If Logaholic is installed on a hosted solution (virtual server) using any of the following Web Site Managers, click the name of the Web Site Manager for information on directory security.

If your Web Site Manager is not listed above, please contact your ISP for more information on directory security.

NOTE: Should you choose not to password protect your Logaholic directory, we strongly advise that you delete "install.php" from the Logaholic directory once Logaholic is up and running.
