Explain more about what? When (if) you install phpMyAdmin, install it into a folder called something other than "/phpmyadmin"; which will give you some security through obscurity (the worst kind of security, but better than none). Then, use your favourite search engine to find out about securing directories with htpasswd: http://www.google.co.uk/search?sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&q=htpasswd If you're hosting on another OS, then I'm sure there'll be some equivalent method for securing directories with passwords. Other than that, this thread is not really anything about Rails, so is a little off topic now. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
