BruisedFruit Security

 

How to secure your BruisedFruit installation

Although BruisedFruit doesn't offer any user management utilities, it is still possible to secure your BruisedFruit wiki from outside interference by password protecting access to edit.php. To do this you must edit the .htaccess file that came with your BruisedFruit install. Add the following text to the top of the file (changing areas in bold as necessary):

AuthName "Restricted Area"
AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile /path/to/.htpasswd
AuthGroupFile /dev/null

require valid-user


Once you've done that, save your .htaccess and create a .htpasswd file. Then, simply generate a .htpasswd entry (if you're not sure how to this, there are plenty of resources out there to help you). Ensure that you upload the resultant .htpasswd file to a folder outside of the public sphere. After that, you're all set.
