Once you have your store ready and think it's time to unleash it to the world, it may be a good idea to go through our checklist to make sure everything is as it should be.
SECURITY TIP
The best place for your database is outside the web root. Most hosts provide
a special folder for this with the database permissions already set. Using
a folder outside the web root will make it difficult for anyone to download
your database and gain access to your username and password. Otherwise
you must set the permissions on your database folder so that your database
cannot be downloaded.
SECURITY TIP
Change the name of the vsadmin folder
This is quite simple. Download the vsadmin folder, rename it and
upload it to ther server again.
In the old vsadmin folder (the one that is still called vsadmin) open includes.asp
and add these two lines:
disallowlogin=TRUE
notifyloginattempt=TRUE
When updating remember you will need to upload the updater files to both the new and old folders.
<?php
session_cache_limiter('none');
session_start();
ob_start(); ?><html>
This needs to be on each of the cart related PHP pages like cart.php, search.php, products.php, categories.php and so on.
