[Maze]

hello and good day dear php-freaks

which is the passwd for the mysql db
run opensuse - therein i have installed a myql serfver and an apache


now i want to port over a cms-system from a server to the localhost.

question: the passwd of the configuriatin of the cms has got the following

db connecgtion
host : localhost
db-name
db-passwd


question: does the db passwd need to match the passwd of the local mysql server!?

is this true

Yes. You use the mysql username/password for the server you are connecting to.

I'm not sure we have enough information.

 

Typically on your localhost install you will be running a local mysql server. 

 

For this reason people use a variety of different techniques to differentiate your environment.  These are some of the common environments:

 

 

'dev' - development

'prod' - production

'test' - for automated testing/unit tests

'qa' - for quality assurance

 

 

Many frameworks come with a configuration scheme that allows you to have different configuration variables for each, and then differentiates the environment based on something like a route or an environment variable.
