[cli] not in config.inc.pkp of newer installs of OJS 2.4.x

The following is not in a virgin install of 2.4.8.5 but was in our older install. Is there any reason?
The command has been redacted. Thanks!

[cli]
dump = “/usr/bin/mysqldump -h localhost -u xxxx -pxxxx# ojs”

Hi @radjr,

That’d be something you added to support the Backup plugin. I don’t recommend embedding your username and password in that configuration file directly – you can use {$username} and {$password} as variables. (Also {$hostname} for host.)

Thanks I think it was added by the backup plugin!

Hi @radjr,

Plugins don’t edit the configuration file themselves – that would have to have been added manually.
