Hi all, I want to make a CGI program in Perl that queries a MySQL database, and the problem is that I need to write the password for the database in the program and this password can be seen by any user that has an account on that server.
I need to gave 755 permissions to CGI scripts because they need to be executed by the web server account, and not by my account. Do you have any tips for hiding the password, or accessing MySQL from CGI scripts is not secure at all? Thank you very much!
