Re: [Phpwiki-talk] error message revealing database username and password!

[Carsten K. <car...@ma...>]

Hi,

This happened to the wiki on the SourceForge server too when the database 
didn't respond in time, probably the server running the database was busy 
or down.

A fix / workaround was added to the CVS on Jan 31, so it's included with 
PhpWiki 1.3.3.
