Hello,

Recently I'm worried about security of my website.
I'm begineer of Xoops. So, I don't know technical 'know-how'.

Is there any method of checking the site's security easily for beginners??

I've done these things↓.

1. delete the 'install'File
2. change the property of 'mainfile.php' 644
3. Upgrade the XOOPS latest Version

But, Is that all do I have to do for my site's security??

PS.
Please answer with easy English. Cause, my homeland is not English sphere.

Hello systeome,

Check out the helpful guide on Xoops Tips: Webmaster XOOPS Site Security Guide

Also, check out GiJoes site: http://www.peak.ne.jp/xoops/. He has created XOOPS protector to really secure your site.

Thanks for your reply! Chado.

I think I decipher 'Xoops Tips: Webmaster XOOPS Site Security Guide' maybe.
I'll check it.

And I'll use 'Xoops Protector'.

I read the manual of 'Xoops Protector', and tried to understand.
But is there any difficult point to installing 'Xoops Protector'?

I'm worried about that I could use this module appropriately.

I use Protector. It is very good.

Just follow the instructions and you will be OK. Just make sure that you set a master rescue password in the modules preferences so that you can get back in if you accidentaly lock yourself out of your site.

Last tip - use Internet Explorer to set you master password. I tried to do it with FireFox and it didn't work for some reason.

Other than that, and applying regular XOOPS patches, you should be OK.

What is 'Last tip'? And Does this means 'use Internet Explorer'?

and does this means 'upgrade the modules'?
