Yes there is a 3.7 version as well.

This is excellent, however, it would not find the wording exactly, so, I hope this really works the way I had to do it. I only changed the path, and moved the file. The board works, so I hope this accomplished what we're trying to do here...

Thanks!

why not keep a fake copy of config.php with this mod, in the original folder to fool hackers?

michi123 02-17-2009 08:05 AM

ye, cuz ur out of your forums folder! the folder has to be in your forums folder!

if sumone is using vbseo, uve to change the config path in config_vbseo.php too!

search
Code:

define('VBSEO_VB_CONFIG',              'config.php');
replace with
Code:

define('VBSEO_VB_CONFIG',              '../folder/newconfig.php');
important is the .. !

That works great on my 3.7.5, except with the Mod "IbProArcade". There it gives me a Database error because it still tries to include the original Filename of the config.php. :(

Is there a problem with IPBProArcade Ziki?

Thanks,
Curt

I don't know I didn't test it.

This seems a bit pointless, in my opinion. If a hacker was determined enough (and as this addon becomes used more and more), then I don't see much of a point. They'll just know to check the core file. Your best bet was to keep this to yourself, if your goal was security. Sharing this sort of threw it out of the "Secure" category.

Also, as long as your MySQL server only allows access to your server (and not everyone), (cPanel servers are often configured this way, and you can add exceptions in the cPanel) then even if that have that information, it does them no good.

Also, proper website/server security would make it really difficult for a hacker to upload a file to your server, and even if they did, why bother with this as they probably have full access anyway?

Just my opinion. Take it with a grain of salt :)
