Hello, I have to modify via my SSH console the password of the files : /usr/local/ispconfig/server/lib/mysql_clientdb.conf /etc/mysql/debian.cnf My searches on google have been unsuccessful so far. I can't find what commands I should use to validate these actions. Can someone here help me please? Thank you in advance. Best regards, T.
I am not really sure what you want? Do you want to see the content of these files? You can use "cat" to see the full contents or "less" to show it pagewise (use space for next page). If you want to edit these files you have to use your favorite editor. "vi" is installed on almost every linux system, but it is not quite beginners friendly. Many distributions have "nano" installed. You may want to use one of the many linux console beginner guides
H I need to change the database password in these 2 files. I have shared hosting, do you think I can use the editor you tell me about? Thank you. Best regards, T.
These files are editable for the system administrator only, you need the server root login for that. Do you have the SSH root login details of that server, probably not if you just have shared hosting and not a VPS or root server. And why do you want to change them btw?
Hi Till, Of course I have the information to connect with the SSH console. I have a VPS. Sorry for my bad English. I want to change the passwords for my database and phpmyadmin simply because I shared them with a wordpress technician who worked on my site. Now that he has finished his mission I would like to renew my passwords for security. My host advised me to also change the passwords for the two files I mentioned for the ISP config. Unfortunately I can't do it from my FTP software.
