IMP- Insecure password
« on: November 28, 2000, 01:25:08 PM »
I thought that I followed the installation notes for webmail to the letter.  However when I access ...../horde/imp/ I get the following message.

Error: IMP is using an insecure default database password
You need to change the password for the database user to something secure.

The password must be changed in several places; the horde/scripts/database/dbpasswd.sh script is useful for this purpose. Please see the docs/SECURITY file for details.

I,ve looked at the security.txt file and don't know how to run the "dbpasswd.sh" script.  Can someone PLEASE spell it all out for me.

Thanks

Nef
