SSL cPanel mySql setup

[Sean Cole (Pi)]

Neville,

Sorry for your pain but I'm glad it's been brought to light for you too
before someone heinously exploits it. Looks like we've both got some work
on our hands.

>From what I have worked out and been advised, using php over https is the
easiest route to switch to.

I say easiest. But it's not going to be easy. This is the full count:

896 Opendatabase
851 revQuery
540 revdberr references
2895 revDataFromQuery; revDatabaseColumnNamed/s
1022 revCloseDatabase; revCloseCursor

It's going to be a long weekend :/
