I have installed protector 3 successfully at a localhost server.
Now I want to upload my site with protector.
I read that I have to put the trust_path_folder at the same level as the public_html at my hosting provider.

Now I must change the mainfile.php.

Here is what I have

Physical path for my xoop:

define('XOOPS_ROOT_PATH', 'C:/webpage/xampp/htdocs/xoops');


//Protector
define('XOOPS_TRUST_PATH', 'C:/webpage/xampp/htdocs/my_xoops_trust_folder');

//Protector
include XOOPS_TRUST_PATH.'/modules/protector/include/precheck.inc.php';

//Protector
include XOOPS_TRUST_PATH.'/modules/protector/include/postcheck.inc.php';

can you tell me what I have to change?

Lets take for example that my page is www.mypage.com

Thank u

Just change this:

//Protector
define('XOOPS_TRUST_PATH', 'C:/webpage/xampp/htdocs/xoops');

You need to find out the absolute path to your web root on your hosting provider's server. Ask them for this information and you can set up your mainfile.php correctly. E.g. on a UNIX/Linux host, the web root path might be:

define('XOOPS_ROOT_PATH', '/var/www/vhosts/example.com/httpdocs');

'httpdocs', or 'htdocs' is the same as 'public_html'.

the XOOPS URL in mainfile is the web address, e.g.

define('XOOPS_URL', 'http://www.example.com');

Protector 3 enables you to put the protector config files (the trust path) outside of the web root, i.e. one level up from the httpdocs folder. So you could place this in:

/var/www/vhosts/example.com/my_xoops_trust_folder

The idea of this is that no one can access this with a web browser. If your host does not allow you to FTP to a location above the web root, then you will have to stick it in the httpdocs folder.
