Need help with Mybb

[AzNFlare]

Hi guys,
So i need some help with my new forum. I haven't opened it yet just getting things working first.

Problem one: I try putting in a .htaccess file so only I(the admin) can access the admin CP. But when i try to log in I get redirected to the index. I tried putting in all the IP i thought was right(i used IP config and ipchicken)

Problem 2: I have installed a new theme however when I click the things like member's list,calendar, search or help they all take me to the index and I'm not quite sure why.

Can you guys please help me.

You must have put the wrong with in the .htaccess if you're always taken to the index, what did you put in??

ErrorDocument 403 mysite
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
Allow from myIP

How about problem 2 any ideas?

EDIT: With problem 2 the link changes but the page goes to the index.

Open up your header template. It should have

Code:

                    <li><a href="{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/search.php"><img src="{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/{$theme['imgdir']}/toplinks/search.png" alt="" title="" />{$lang->toplinks_search}</a></li>
                    <li><a href="{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/memberlist.php"><img src="{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/{$theme['imgdir']}/toplinks/memberlist.png" alt="" title="" />{$lang->toplinks_memberlist}</a></li>
                    <li><a href="{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/calendar.php"><img src="{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/{$theme['imgdir']}/toplinks/calendar.png" alt="" title="" />{$lang->toplinks_calendar}</a></li>
                    <li><a href="{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/misc.php?action=help"><img src="{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/{$theme['imgdir']}/toplinks/help.png" alt="" title="" />{$lang->toplinks_help}</a></li>

Nobody's going to hack your admin panel, I simply suggest you make a random account and make it an admin, but give it no powers. Use it as your main account, then use UID1 as admin. Remove the hta, it's what's messing everything up obviously. Plus, you can put a password on the admin.php page.

Good suggestion Tate.

Cookie settings will force this same redirect too?
Are your domain settings etc correct. For example. if its not in root but in /forum then you would need to make this setting.
As for the admin cp thing. Just rename it and do whats required to make it work.
Edit /inc/config.php by memory and then again in the acp by memory. But its been a while.
Dont stress getting hacked if the board is not even open or active.
AND REMEMBER BACKUP EVERY DAY IF YOU RUN A FORUM. (database) Files weekly.
