Hallo friends
i'm new here
first my compliment for your good work

I have installed hack alert and then sentinel
but i dont know if work or not becouse i have had defeaced my site
so if understand instruction htaccess file must be into the root. That's correct?
but i have'nt htaccess file into the root. Is it into another dir!
if copy that file into root i could'nt access to the site

Then into config panel
htaccess Path: what i have to write here? ('m on Apache server)

Final how i can test if it work without problem for me? Embarassed

Many thank for your good help

The path is probably: .htaccess
If you do not have one there, you can put one in there, the reason you could not visit your site, the htaccess probably had: deny from all

The htaccess file in the root could contain this:

Code:




# deny most common except .php


<FilesMatch "\.(inc|tpl|h|ihtml|sql|ini|conf|class|bin|spd|theme|module)$">


deny from all


</FilesMatch>





<Limit GET PUT POST>


  Order Allow,Deny


  Allow from all


</Limit>





Options All -Indexes


DirectoryIndex index.php index.htm index.html /noindex.php

Actually if you didnt know the .htaccess file will disapear when you upload it.

If your using ws_ftp in that little box in the upper right hand corner that you never use. Type -al or -la and you will see files that it normaly hides. Wink

You only have 1 .htaccess file that comes with the release, in abuse directory. You will not have one in your root directory until Sentinel(tm) needs it. If you don't have one, Sentinel(tm) will create it. If you already have one, Sentinel(tm) will append to it. It will grow as bans are added to it.
