These are several post-installation steps which will ensure proper functioning of your Freeway application a swell as maximum security:

  • Rename the Freeway/install folder or delete it
  • Reset the permissions on Freeway/includes/configure.php to 644 (note: if you are still getting the warning message about an insecure installation at the top of the page after setting the configure.php files to 644 then set the Freeway/includes/configure.php file to 444 which is read only - this happens on some servers that have been updated for security reasons)
  • Set the permissions on Freeway/images directory to 777
  • Set the permissions on Freeway/admin/images/graphs directory to 777
  • Set the permissions on Freeway/admin/backups to 777 (this is the folder to store the database backup of your store in the "Tools" section of the store admin)

The booking system admin directory on your server needs to be password protected using .htaccess. Most of the time the server you are hosting your bookings system on has the ability to password protect directories through the server administration area.
