I got this reply back on another forum Would this not be secure? They would have to know the page address and then crack a long password. Isn't that what would be required to break the ssh? i.e know the port then brute force the secret key. If the index was disabled on htaccess wouldn't the page address have to be brute forced as well? e.g www.mywebsite.com/ri13t673gr672tf762g7676f2i37fggreg23i7f623/index.php (Only asking as this way seems easier, but if its not secure I'll go ssh)

What would you recommend for securing access to phpMyAdmin? I am the developer and need remote access to phpMyAdmin which is on a server in another country (a linux machine with a LAMP stack at the owners office). At the moment for development it's just an internet accessible url and a username and password. a) restrict access to phpMyAdmin to localhost and ssh into the server to get access b) Allow access via an internet url and use 2 factor authentication (probably Google Authenticator) c) keep it as username and password with public url and use a crazy long password to protect against brute force

Don't want to code a forum from scratch for no reason. Just wondered if anyone had any particular recommendations for what forum they prefer to use.

Hi, I have finished a webshop (coded in php, Javascript, MySQL) for a client and they want to add a Forum . Does anyone have any recommendations for a free forum I can just drop in with minimal setup ? In an ideal world it would be good if it used MySQL so I can create a forum account at the same time they create their customer account, but its not the end of the world if that's not possible. Many thanks
