Re: defining my database connection outside the open_basedir

C. Just a suggestion maybe you should create a backup script that runs every night or every other night in cron that grabs everything from your server and send it to a tape drive (making sure to rotate your tapes though). This way if you get hacked and such you don't have to re-install everything you can get the majority of it off of tape and only loose a days or so's data.

I put username & password pairs in my Apache httpd.conf file and this can be done by virtual server.... I use this method for perl all the time... Now 1. I HATE F****!! hankers or crackers I have had 3 atacks over the last 2-3 years... I would like to string them up by there private parts. 2. I have been messing around for years with UNIX and the net... If a foreign admin busted your site they would generaly leave email from yourself ie root to root.. this was never for profit. 3. Sites should NEVER BE CRACKED or HACKED without prior agreement with the owner....If they are they should GO TO JAIL! 3A In other words you want me to pay for PROTECTION??? Please check with your local, state, and Federal statutes I think the charge is RACKETEERING.. 4. I am still recovering from a root kit on my web server.. It was Very destructive! The server had to be rebuilt... 2 to 3 hrs reformatting and loading the base OS 6 to 12 hrs of PATCHING the OS 3-4 hrs of reloading all the utilities and programs.. lets call that 20+ hrs @ $185.00 per.... So who is going to pay me for my time,,,, C Harrison "Sex, Drugs and UNIX" -- PHP Install Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
