 Posted: Mon Sep 13, 2004 12:54 am Post subject: MySql Security Query |
 |
|
G'Day All,
I am running MySQL successfully with the abyss web server. I just have a question about security. I have password protected the MySQL database server, but, i would like to know what else i could do to protect it? At the moment, my database can still be accessed via the internet "http://URL/phpmyadmin", and if someone was to have appropriate software, or just guess my password, they would have access to my database, which is obviously a lot of trouble. So, any ways i can highten the security on the MySQL database. Ideally, i would love to just have it running locally, that way it cannot make the Internet. Is this possible? How would i go about it?
Cheers all

Use the beta version of Abyss and setup a IP Controle record , I do this for
my phpMyAdmin , it only allows you to access it locally. Hope That Helps! |

Okies, i have downloaded the beta and have found the IP Control screen. Currently, there is only access for http://127.0.0.1. What would i need to add to protect my phpmyadmin database? Would i simply just add a deny ip record to http://URL/phpmyadmin?
Cheers

No , you have to add a record for the allowed IP and set it to Allow/Deny in
the Order field , this will make sure only localhost is allowed in that path.
Virtual Path: /phpmyadmin
Order: Allow/Deny
Allowed IP's: 127.0.0.1 |
