PHPMyAdmin Read-Only User

[hakkuo23]

How can I create a read-only user in PHPMyAdmin so I don't have to worry about people reading my database.cfg file and logging into PHPMyAdmin?

Which database.cfg are you thinking of? phpMyAdmin, as we install it, does not store database credentials on-disk, and instead they must be specified when any user logs in. If you have a database.cfg file that is being exposed by another application, you should definitely not make that publicly accessible.

There's no way to assign different user privileges in phpMyAdmin, as it just reuses the overall login for the account. We provide a single MySQL login for each webhosting account here, and that login has full access to every database under the webhosting account.

Oh, the database.cfg I was talking about was in addons/sourcemod/configs. I wanted to block ftp users from accessing it. Can I not do that with aa managed VDS?

Each game server has just the one FTP account, with full access. I can't think of a way that you could restrict that file so that only certain people using the shared FTP account will see it.

You could use a standalone webhosting account for your main site and only the free one for your game server, though, if this is an important concern.
