I would bet 10 to 1 that he's installing an application that already is designed NOT to use the mysql root user to access it's database. This is a case of someone who isn't understanding the design of the app he's setting up. It worked only because he was running an out-of-box sql server install which had nothing for a root password. He probably misread the instructions and used root instead of the username that he was supposed to use. > since most > php scripts read the username/password information in clear text on a > nobody:nobody read filesystem. IOW other people can read your files. > Do you run php database driven apps on the same server as you use to provide shell services? I don't. If the webserver is configured right it won't allow remote clients to read the scripts, only execute them.
