Be aware that you *will* get script kiddies every day or two trying to break
in via phpmyadmin. Make sure it's behind a firewall, good password, etc.
When I was running Linux servers, that and trying to break into drupal were
the only frequent 404's I was issuing.

Completely off topic, but....
I am looking into implementing a drupal site - is there much to look out
for as far as vulnerabilities?
Thanks

you are very obviously asking for Postgresql:
http://www.postgresql.org/
besides being the most robust open-source DBMS out there, one of the very first
features I noticed was this strange thing called GIS. This was back then, today
I learned Postgresql comes with no GIS on its own, instead users are directed to
use it together with PostGIS:
http://www.postgis.org/

I didn't do drupal. We just had people attacking our non-existant drupal
install. :-)

Reminds me of seeing malformed URL requests to hack a windows based web
server - but the server was on Linux ;-)
I'll have to check out drupal vulnerabilities as I move forward.
Thanks

The best thing to do is keep a log of 404's (or any 400/500 error really)
that you *actually* look at relatively frequently. If you don't get many
404's, mail a summary to your inbox each day and look at it.

Yeah, I had this also, back when I was running Apache on my laptop. Kind

What does it matter who the developers are? Once GPL, always GPL. They
cannot change that license (unless they make a complete rewrite from
scratch).

MySQL appears to be dual-licensed. So long as you use the one with the
GPL license, it's fine. (Unless they start removing features from the
GPL version and keeping them for the propriety one...)

Without "Removing" features, they could freeze development of the GPL
one, and sells new features (and bug correction) with the proprietary
licence only.
Who care about GPL of version 3.1 when you need Proprietary Seven to
match your need...
Of course, you can just take the GPL 3.1 and make yourself the
transition from 16 bits to 64 bits... as well as developing universal
driver for USB and SSD. It's just a small patch, right ?
From a cost point of view, it might not be worth it. (well, just try to
sell it to your boss)

Software is like dirt - it costs time and money to change it and move it
around.
Just because you can't see it, it doesn't weigh anything,
and you can't drill a hole in it and stick a rivet into it doesn't mean
it's free.
