Topic: SME temp file

[Agent86]

Why does SME not allow writing to the server tmp file? Mainly for the ibays which may contain webfiles or scripts, or databases that direct things to be written to the temp file.

And what to do about it?

The config file below:

// mysql, postgres or any db supported by adodb
//
$engine = 'mysql';
//
// the database user
//
$user = 'root';
//
// the password for the database user
//
$password = '?';
//
// the host (machine) for the database. this is 'localhost' in most of the cases
//
$host = 'localhost';
//
// The name of the database.
//
$database = 'brim';
?>

NEVER USE THE ROOT ACCOUNT FOR APPLICATIONS

(Sorry for yelling, but it seems hard to get that this is a big security issue, and not done also because of the special features the root account has on a SME Server).

Instead create a seperate user which has the neccessarry priviliges to access the database:

Login by terminal access as root without a password:

Code: [Select]

mysql -u root
Get hold of the database name,, think of a username and a password so we can create it using the following statements:

Code: [Select]

grant all privileges on database.* to 'username'@'localhost' identified by 'password';
flush privileges;
quit(Mind the ticks around the username and the password).

Thanks you all for ruining this thread
It should be completely deleted now that it has nothing to do with computers at all.
