How to deal with base_crypt when restoring to new server?

Asked by Ingmar Gutberlet

I would like to add that extra bit of security to my databases with base_crypt but I have a problem with it.

Scenario:
- I install and populate a database, then install base_crypt. Now my passwords are hashed.
- I then want to save and restore this database to a new server (imaging a server crash).
- I can restore the database, but can not log in because base_crypt is not installed.
  However, since modules are installed against databases (right?) I can not log in to install base_crypt.

Question:
How can I restore and then access a database that had base_crypt installed and thus pwds hashed?

Thanks,
Ingmar

Hi Ingmar,

this should not be the case. As you say, modules are installed against a database. Restoring the database on another server instance will keep the same set of modules installed as long as these are available in the addons path. As base_crypt is in the official addons distribution I would not expect any trouble there.

Has this actually happened to you? Then the log files might give a clue about what is really going on.

Cheers,
Stefan.

Can you help with this problem?
