:) I can't help but smile because I know what everyone else is thinking: "Just read the error and follow the instructions". But, I also know what you're thinking; you don't know what's going on. You just did a clean install so you shouldn't be getting and "error".
All things aren't obvious to everyone. This is just what I know; I may be missing a huge chunk of the big picture, but here goes: "In cryptography <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cryptography>, a *salt*comprises random bits <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bit> that are used as one of the inputs to a key derivation function<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Key_derivation_function>." (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salt_%28cryptography%29) In CakePHP one of these deviation functions is the hash routine for the Authentication. If no one ever changed their salt value, someone could simply download the CakePHP code, analyze it's working and use that knowledge to get values for your hashed values. Bottom line, change the value. Go to an online hash routine or somethig ( http://www.fileformat.info/tool/hash.htm), type in some crap, and use one of the hash results you get. Just make the value random. -- Kevin Lloyd 3HN Designs http://www.3HNDesigns.com/ (214) 473-4207 On Jan 22, 2008 5:46 PM, longint <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I just 'installed' the latest beta and when I navigate to the cake > directory I get the following message: > > Please change the value of 'Security.salt' in app/config/core.php to a > salt value specific to your application [CORE/cake/libs/debugger.php, > line 535] > > Anyone familiar with this error and why I'm getting it? > > Thanks. > > > --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Cake PHP" group.
