Locking down a new install and title parameter problem

[roschler]

Hello,

Thanks you for creating phpFreeChat. I have a brand new "1.0-beta6" install which is working fine. I have some questions:

- How do you lock down a new install? I removed all the install html files from the root directory and put in my own "launch" script. I also password protected the /admin directory and removed the /debug, /demo/, and /testcase directories. What else should I do to secure my installation?

- The "title" paramter does not work for me. I put:

$params["title"] = "The New Chat Room";

in my launch PHP script and it still says "My Chat" as the title for the chat. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks.

admin/ directory is useless, you can delete it, I will remove it in the next release.
However your chat ins secure, don't worry.

Don't forget to rehash your chat :

Stéphane,

Thanks. I must have set something up wrong. I tried changing my nickname to admin, and then I tried Admins. In either case it never asked me for my password. I have the following at the top of my launch script:

$params["admins"] = array("Admins"=>"somepassword");
$params["shownotice"] = 1;

How do I get it to ask me for my password? I can't run rehash because it doesn't know I'm the admin. (It puts up a box saying I'm not allowed to run that command.)

Thanks!

read the FAQ, it say to run :

Code: Select all

/nick admin
/identify

in order to identify as admin the first time.
