00:52 ironm Hi guys :) - is one of you still up?
00:53 ironm I can create a new page anymore .. first after creating a new empty DB it is working again .. what could be the reason for such behavior?
00:53 ironm I can NOT create ...
10:41 remote hello
11:24 phil1 remote: hello ;)
11:27 remote phil1: would you know what $TYPO3_CONF_VARS['SYS']['encryptionKey'] is used for?
11:28 remote i can't find any information online
11:28 remote what does it encrypt?
11:30 phil1 it is used as a salt to encrypt the beuser passworts
11:30 phil1 this salt makes it impossible to use rainbow tables for decrypting stolen passwords
11:31 remote what's the be user?
11:31 remote how could they be stolen?
11:32 remote i'm a bit puzzled by all this
11:33 snoy_ms hey all
11:33 remote  hello
11:36 phil1 beuser are the user who log in into the backend (be)
11:36 phil1 the passwords should never be stolen, but in case this happens, this is another layer of protection
11:37 phil1 you can just use the install tool to set a random encryption key and you are fine
11:37 phil1 nothing to worry any more
11:37 remote i'm not worried just trying to understand
11:38 remote usually if someone finds the encrypted passwords, from the db, he might well have access to the localconf.php file as well
11:38 remote maybe i'm confused
11:39 phil1 that is where the salt comes into
11:39 remote and TYPO3_CONF_VARS['BE']['installToolPassword']
11:40 phil1 he can only try to decrypt, but this will take ages... using a the salt each encryption is unique so he does not have the advantage of having a large number of password precalculated
11:41 phil1 installToolPassword ... what is says, it protects the install tool with a simple password
11:41 remote and that password doesn't work anywhere else right?
11:41 phil1 yes
11:42 remote my typo3 install is disabled
11:43 remote and i have no idea what i'm doing
11:45 phil1 you have to create the ENABLE_INSTALL_TOOL file in typo3conf/
11:45 remote that's a problem i don't have access to the server
11:45 remote only thing i have is a backup of the typo3 config
11:46 phil1 maybe you should buy the ebook from dimitry http://dmitry-dulepov.com/e-books/typo3-installation-and-upgrade.html
11:47 remote i like his facial hairs
11:47 remote maybe i'm going to buy it
11:47 phil1 then you can't do anything... of you have access to the backend you can create such a file in your user prefereces (if you are admin and you are running 4.3.x)
11:47 remote no it's an old version
11:48 remote 4.1 i think
11:48 phil1 then you can't
11:49 phil1 you need to get some access to the server (FTP for example) otherwise it will be impossible to install security updates and to administer the site
11:52 remote hmm
11:55 remote what's that used for TYPO3_CONF_VARS['EXTCONF']['realurl']['postVarSets'] ?
11:58 chefkoch hi! how can i enable the filelist in draft version of typo3 backend? i can see the filelist menu item, when working on live-view. but when i switch to draft-view, the menu item disappears.
12:04 phil1 chefkoch: this is because working with files is always live ... unfortunately it not yet possible to upload or modify files just in draft mode
12:05 phil1 remote: this is part of the extension realurl
12:06 chefkoch hmmm... what is best practice to work with images in draft mode? in the past i choosed them from filelist in live mode.
12:08 phil1 chefkoch: i don't know, but I guess that you need to upload them in live and then you can assign them in draft mode ... I haven't tried trough (because for my sites I don't really need the draft mode)
12:09 chefkoch ok. thx.
16:13 erdaltaskesen hi
16:21 phil1 :)
