DB user during upgrade

Help with getting the CMS CORE package up and running. This does not include 3rd party modules, PHP scripts, anything downloaded via module manager or from any external source.

DB user during upgrade

Post by Gregor »

Just wondering why the DB-user (+ password) assigned in the config.php isn't used during the upgrade?

Yep, as a safety measurement you now need to fill in the database password again.
Why? Imagine you forget to remove the Installation Assistent file from the server. Bad guys can use the file to get access to your database and website.
