Where Is A Database Most Secure
Feb 7, 2008
I'm building an ASP.NET 2.0 web app on a shared hosting plan. It looks like I have two good places to store my database. One is the App_Data folder that my .NET training tells me is the place to store databases. However, like many shared hosting plans I have a directory above the publicly accessible webroot folder with serves as my application root. Right next to my webroot folder is a databases folder which my web host apparently sets up as a default location for databases. So which is more secure? My App_Data folder? Or a "sibling" folder to my webroot?
If it matters, I have an Access .mdb, which I may upgrade to a SQL server .mdf.

What can I do to secure access to my MySQL database to stop it from getting compromised from hackers?
Is there any way I can restrict access to the MySQL database to my IP only?
The database is for an IPB 2.3.4 forum and the username/password are stored in a conf_global.php file that is CHMODed 0444.

When I update servers via CLI autoinstaller, I always (afair) get this mysqldump error message:
Code:
Stopping psa... * Stopping Plesk engine pool manager sw-engine-fpm
...done.
done
-- Warning: Skipping the data of table mysql.event. Specify the --events option explicitly.
mysqldump: Got error: 1049: Unknown database 'atmail' when selecting the database
===> Cumulative APS controller database (apsc) upgrade has been started.
===> Cumulative upgrade of APS controller database has been completed.
===> Cumulative Plesk database upgrade (revertable stage) has been started.
===> Preparing Plesk database upgrade (revertable stage).
===> Cumulative upgrade of Plesk database (revertable stage) has been completed.
Reading package lists...
There is no database "atmail" on any of our Plesk servers. Simple solution should be to first check if the DB exists before performing actions on it.As a bonus, perhaps it would be possible to suppress the warning about mysql.event.

I've just built a new LAMP server and I'm having a little issue where Apache doesn't serve a simple non-database webpage, instead, I get an error on all my virtual-host in the browser: Database Error: Unable to connect to the Database: Could not connect to MySQL.
I've googled the problem but since the error mentions MySql, everything I find is related to connecting to MySql, which I'm not trying to connect... and I've contacted my Linux mentor about this issue... This is something I've never seen before... don't know why Apache thinks I'm trying connect to MySQL on every browser call to the server...
However, MySQL is accessible via telnet, and all my permissions are correct...
