Yes, using a range of IPs would help. Unless a hacker happens to be in the same range.

Here's the entry in my .htaccess file that password-protects admin.php:

<Files "admin.php">
AuthType Basic
AuthName "Whatever"
AuthUserFile /path/to/your/password/file
require valid-user
Files>


The .htaccess file is located in the top-level XOOPS directory.

The password file is created/updated with the Apache htpasswd command.

Guys thanks for your help. I do have a static ip address, hence will try this protection against admin.php. Just to clarify, if I protect this file will it cause a problem with the XOOPS modules, eg valid/registered user cannot access a function etc..

Thank Dave. Well, I can't really use it. I am using .htaccess mainly for mod-rewrite banning spambots.

It is possible, let's hope it is not.
