Hi I noticed today that my host is having issue. I went to my website and noticed that the database could not connect and it showed database name and password in plain text! I also received an email from one of my customers and he copy and pasted the code with my password! Pretty scary how do I stop this from showing when my host is having issue?
This has nothing to do with me running a hosting company but I'd highly advise moving to a new host if your information is being exposed in that fashion.Gyro123 wrote:Hi I noticed today that my host is having issue.

That's actually standard. I thought your username and password were both exposed.Gyro123 wrote:Please see attached error message... I blocked out the sensitive information
It's one of 2 things:
1) Their sql server is crashing
2) Your database credentials are incorrect in one or both of the config files.

Sorry I missed that part where you edited it out. NO it's not safe to show that info! The file path info is not a huge deal though.Gyro123 wrote:So are you saying it's safe even if people could see my database password?
