Hello,

First I have to say that CouchCMS is amazing!!! It feels like magic. Excellent job, it is very flexible and has many features and the GUI is very well made.

The only thing I'm worried about is that config.php file where you have to insert your database password in the clear. If any hacker guesses the name of the folder of CouchCMS, he can open config.php and read the db password. Any ideas what could be a good security solution to this problem?

Thanks
Hi,

If any hacker guesses the name of the folder of CouchCMS, he can open config.php and read the db password.

None of the .php files forming the core of Couch can be accessed directly (there is check in all of them) so this is not an issue.

You may, however, change the name of the folder from 'couch' to anything you like if you so wish.
Okay glad to hear that, thank you very much
