SQL Settings

[Leth]

I have recently changed the SQL password for the webblog as i could no longer recall it, however I now can't remember how to update the settings for Serendipity.

Any ideas as to where the SQL password is stored?

Thanks for your help

The SQL password is stored in the file "serendipity_config_local.inc.php". It is set with restrictive permissions, so if you cannot edit it via FTP, you can execute this PHP script:

Code: Select all

<?php
chmod("serendipity_config_local.inc.php", 0777);
?>

to reset permissions and edit the file.

Thanks, worked a treat.

Incase anyone else stumbles across this thread, the code below will set the permissions back afterwards.

Code: Select all

<?php
chmod("serendipity_config_local.inc.php", 0600);
?>
