This will not prevent users from executing (i.e. including) the config files, but it will prevent Apache from "handing" the files out to users who request: http://www....com/sql-ledger/admin/config Step 6 would probably be needed if the system has a number of "local" user acounts. Step 7 is also absolutely critical! If your SQL-Ledger/Apache server is also your PostgreSQL server, use the following line in pg_hba.conf host myledgerdb 127.0.0.1 255.255.255.255 password (assuming your database for SQL-Ledger is myledgerdb) Be sure NOT to have a line like this in the file: host all 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 trust Step 8 is entirely about how granular your security control needs to be. Implement it to suit yourself. BFN Andy |
