| If your MySQL accepts socket connections through the non-default socket (in /tmp/...) type into $g_port your socket path - will also work. |

Is there any risk in entering my SQL database password in the configuration file? Can someone who knows something about PHP read the file and do (bad?) stuff with my datgabase?
---
[Editor] Following are the cases (that I can think of) where you password may be exposed:
- PHP Server gets uninstalled from the Web Server (or was not installed in the first place).
- Other users have access to the Mantis directory through FTP
- Other users have access to the Mantis directory through shell access.
- Other users have access to the Mantis directory through LAN. |

In a normal situation, people cannot see the sourcecode of your PHP-pages, because it is parsed by your server before the page is returned to a browser.
Only if your PHP-parser has problems and gets disabled, people who know the URL of your config_inc.php file can see the contents.
To the developers: Why don't you create an option so that users can specify the path to config_inc.php? I'd like mine above the HTDOCS root... Pretty save I guess.
---
[Editor] This will require another config_inc to point to the config_inc! This complicates things without a practical benefit. |

So why not configure in config.inc the location of the password file?
You can keep that out of HTDDOCS then. |
