I think all the Protector options for sanitising were already selected. I'm just stuck at this point. None of the installed modules seem to work.

I'm thinking of just starting over; is there a standard un-install procedure? I'm assuming that just deleting a folder under modules will not clean up the database.

Thanks,
Jim

yes there is a uninstall in the admin / module section.

before you delete everything I'd see if these guys can help.
They helped me get mine right.

I'm looking at the 'readme' for V3 of protector ..

Quote:

First, define XOOPS_TRUST_PATH into mainfile.php if you've never done it yet.

Copy html/modules/protector in the archive into your XOOPS_ROOT_PATH/modules/
Copy xoops_trust_path/modules/protector in the archive into your XOOPS_TRUST_PATH/modules/

Turn permission of XOOPS_TRUST_PATH/modules/protector/configs writable


Shouldn't all the files that show in the archive in 'xoops_trust_path/modules/protector' be in the path 'html/modules/protector' ??

That way, it follows XOOPS standards, and the Protector module is installed in the same heirarchy as other modules.

Confusing.

It's okay, I just found and read the top part of this tip on XOOPS_TRUST_PATH

It goes parallel to the web root, so it can't be accessed by a browser.. okay.

No, because XOOPS_TRUST_PATH should be located outside the web document root. Personally I would prefer a name other than "trust path", such as "non-html path" or non-htdocs path".

Hi Dave, I read down a bit further, terminology I guess. If this is 'web root' ..

/home/username/public_html/

and the TRUST' path idea is ..

/home/username/sometrustname/

yes, it's not below, or underneath web root, more like 'at the same level' of file structure.

I think you posted in response to my post, but before I modified the post. :)

Correct.

I prefer "outside"; "below" or "underneath" are ambiguous since their meaning depend on your point of view.

Vaughan, with using php.ini (when PHPSuexec is being used), it resides in the web root of course. Do you know what to add in .htaccess to stop people doing this:

Will this do it ??

<Files php.ini>
        Order deny,allow
        Deny from all

(I hope that Apache/PHP can still access it though).

session.use_only_cookies is optional but may give you a tiny bit more protection aswell..


Actually shouldn't the 3 'essentials' for protector , in php.ini be:

register_globals = Off
allow_url_fopen = 0
session.use_trans_sid = 1
