Gregarius – Devlog

You should act differently, depending on how your installation of Gregarius is visible from the Internet:

• Your Gregarius installation is accessible from the Internet, and anyone can use it

  If you installed Gregarius on your website and anyone can see it, you should password-protect the administration area to prevent someone from deleting your subscribed feeds and messing stuff up:

  • create a new file called rss_extra.php in your gregarius installation’s root directory and paste in the following code:

    <?php
    define (’ADMIN_USERNAME’, ‘username’ );
    define (’ADMIN_PASSWORD’, ‘password’ );
    ?>

  • Make sure there are no spaces or carriage returns before “<?php” and after “?>“

  • Replace username and password with anything you wish

  • Your administration area should now be password-protected! Test it and provide the username and password you have specified above when prompted.

• Your Gregarius installation is accessible on the Internet, but you don’t wish other people than yourself to use it

  In this case you should password protect the whole gregarius installation. Refer to this document to learn how to do this.

  If you password protect the whole gregarius installation you don’t need to protect the admin section as it inherits the protection of the main installation

• Your Gregarius installation is not accessible from the Internet (e.g. it runs on your private intranet)

  In this case you don’t need to password protect your admin section as only you can access it
