Updating conf_global to match the newly generated

Featured Replies

Posted

So I've been going through everything getting it cleaned up, updated, fine tuned, etc. I took a look at my conf_global and decided to update it. Though I'd like feedback about what to keep and what to remove. I've removed some information for the sake of keeping it secure.

What I did was cross reference a clean test install I did earlier to check database tables.

Before:

<?php
$INFO['sql_driver']			= 'mysql';
$INFO['sql_host']			= 'localhost';
$INFO['sql_database']		= 'Database';
$INFO['sql_user']			= 'Username';
$INFO['sql_pass']			= 'Password';
$INFO['sql_tbl_prefix']		= 'prefix';
$INFO['sql_debug']			= '1';
$INFO['sql_charset']		= 'utf8mb4';
$INFO['sql_utf8mb4']		= true;
$INFO['board_start']		= '000';
$INFO['installed']			= '1';
$INFO['php_ext']			= 'php';
$INFO['safe_mode']			= '0';
$INFO['board_url']			= 'http://forums.lunarsoft.net';
$INFO['banned_group']		= '5';
$INFO['admin_group']		= '4';
$INFO['member_group']		= '3';
$INFO['guest_group']		= '2';
$INFO['auth_group']			= '1';
$INFO['use_friendly_urls']	= '1';
?>

 

After:

$INFO = array (
  'sql_host' => 'localhost',
  'sql_database' => 'Database',
  'sql_user' => 'Username',
  'sql_pass' => 'Password',
  'sql_port' => 3306,
  'sql_socket' => '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock',
  'sql_tbl_prefix' => 'prefix',
  'sql_utf8mb4' => true,
  'board_start' => 000,
  'installed' => true,
  'base_url' => 'http://forums.lunarsoft.net/',
  'guest_group' => 2,
  'member_group' => 3,
  'admin_group' => 4,
);

 

Thanks all for the advice. ^_^

Anyone available for some advice?

I don't think there is any advice to give, to be honest....you've converted a PHP array from one format to another. Is everything working OK? If yes, then job done.

@Nathan Explosion - Thanks, good to hear. I was a bit concerned about the removal of a few lines that may need to stay but haven't presented any issues as of yet.

One such concern was using utf8mb4. Currently I don't have the line in the After version, but will add it if needed. Was also unsure about the groups, if they are even needed anymore in the conf file.
