PHPIDS - get it!

Database disaster - the whole story

Article written by Lars Strojny

We (we as in schokokeks.org) offered PHPIDS our infrastructure to host their web applications for free on one of our servers. The server the PHPIDS stuff is located was treated a bit too ignorant by us, e.g. we did not really ensure a working backup and our database configuration system was horribly broken by me (which crashed the tables). Talking about security on the one hand and doing such huge mistakes on the other hand must seem a bit devious for you. And the sad thing is, you are right. I am really sorry for that inconvinience, the issues which broke the setup are fixed now will never happen again. Fingers crossed.
