~Modification name
Rename Config File

~Modification description
This modification allows you to rename or move the config.php file.This is to protect your sensible information and increase the security of your vBulletin board.

The majority of boards get hacked because a hacker uploads a malicious script to get hold of the config.php content.But if you move or rename it,there is no chance that they find out the location of it.

Step 1: Open includes/class_core.php and find:

Code:
include(CWD . '/includes/config.php');

                if (sizeof($config) == 0)
                {
                        if (file_exists(CWD. '/includes/config.php'))
                        {
                                // config.php exists, but does not define $config
                                die('<br /><br /><strong>Configuration</strong>: includes/config.php exists, but is not in the 3.6+ format. Please convert your config file via the new config.php.new.');
                        }
                        else
                        {
                                die('<br /><br /><strong>Configuration</strong>: includes/config.php does not exist. Please fill out the data in config.php.new and rename it to config.php');
                        }
                }
And replace it with:


Code:
include(CWD . 'XXXXX');

                if (sizeof($config) == 0)
                {
                        if (file_exists(CWD. 'XXXXX'))
                        {
                                // config.php exists, but does not define $config
                                die('<br /><br /><strong>Configuration</strong>: includes/config.php exists, but is not in the 3.6+ format. Please convert your config file via the new config.php.new.');
                        }
                        else
                        {
                                die('<br /><br /><strong>Configuration</strong>: includes/config.php does not exist. Please fill out the data in config.php.new and rename it to config.php');
                        }
                }
Where XXXXX is the relative path to your new config file.It can be, for instance:
admincp/mynewconfig.php or includes/configuration.php .

incredible move... but does it causes any more problems? or runs smoothly?

Ziki 12-14-2008 07:24 PM
Sure it works fine.

I'm going to give this a go asap as I have had to many problems with these hackers going around and defacing my sites. I have even hired a security team to go over the server, so hopefully this will help that little more.

Hmm, might be blind here... But cannot locate the string to edit in Step1 ??
Copied class_core.php from server, opened in txt editor... manually went over it, even tried using the "find" feature and nothing.

I am using VB3.7.4 PL1 , is it different for this latest version?

Its in Line 2532 - 2545 of the class_core.php in my vB 3.7.4 PL1.
Just edited that, seems to work great.
