Use DA to protect it's directory.

thanks Jeff,

Ok...
if you go to password protect the directory it does not have that option by default.

All other directories do.

any ideas

anyone else got any ideas?

Have i posted this in the wrong place?


Thanks for all your help:)

If you dont wish to use that folder at all I would create a .htaccess file in the stats folder with the following:

Order deny,allow
deny from all

This will block anyone attempting to look at its contents.

Thanks for the reply Chat:)

heres a couple more questions to make sure i have it straight.

Can i delete the directory /stats with no repercussions?

Can i set up webiliser to create in new directory and will DA let me password protect it?

Failing all that, can i use .htaccess to password protect ( will DA let me)?

thanks
Turbo

Since http://<yourdomain.com>/stats is just a link back to /home/<username>/stats you can delete that folder with no problems.
