In LimeSurvey 1.92+ and earlier, I have been able to modify the following line in my config.php file to add an extra level of security:

<?php include("/home/hostfolder/safedata/configreal.php"); ?>

As many of you already know, this is in the documentation for 1.92+ and earlier versions under the heading "Other security issues." This enables me to move our config.php file to a non-web location, thus keeping our database password, etc. reasonably out of reach of prying eyes.

I have been searching the documentation and forum for the equivalent to work with LimeSurvey 2.

Could someone please point me in the right direction? I would like to be able to figure this out by the time the stable version of LimeSurvey 2 comes out.

Thanks!

Hello,

I think you can do this in
application/config/config.php

Denis
PS and use an include_once

Denis:

Thank you for your response. I tried the include_once and went through many trials-and-errors in trying to figure out what lines to change in the "configreal" file. Occasionally, I get an error indicating a syntax problem in the file. After many other attempts, I get simply a blank screen.

I'm guessing that the 'basepath' and the 'runTimePath' lines need to be changed, which is where I have been devoting my efforts. I was determined to figure this out on my own and then post the solution to the forum, but I am stuck.

I've always been able to use this technique in 1.92+ and earlier.

I have not been able to find this in the documentation, so if someone could point me in the right direction, I would appreciate it!

Thanks!

Myabe you can do something with Yii:

I don't look further but i think it's a starting method.

PS : you have in index.php:

Thanks, Denis. I'll keep digging. I am not yet familiar with Yii, so while I am digging, I am still asking for help/direction from anyone.

Thanks!
