Lost my settings.inc.php

[Max_77]

Hello!
I have lost my settings.inc.php file with every data to my database,
I still have the database. And have reset all data, cookie_key etc, but not this one:

define('_COOKIE_IV_', 'XXXXXXXX');

My problem is:
What is that cookie IV?
And how do i reset it?
Where in the database can i find this?

That value is generated with this line in createDB.php in your install folder:

array('_COOKIE_IV_', Tools::passwdGen(8)),

I would create another script to run that function to get the value and then manually place the value
in my setting.inc.php file.

Hello!

Some more questions.

1. how do i execute that script? Just put it in root or in some folder?
2. Dont this run over my present database?

A little confused

[MrBaseball34]

I would write the script and run it from the root. It is not going to do anything to your database, it is going to generate the value for you.

Let me test to see if I can write the script to perform the operation....

Ok, here is the code for the script:

<?php
 include_once(dirname(__FILE__).'/classes/Tools.php');    
 echo Tools::passwdGen(8);
?>

Call it passwdGen.php and place it in your root.
Run it from the root and take the value it shows and place it in your setting.inc.php for the COOKIE_IV value.
