hy
we are using a perl script to config Exponential outof our hosting software.
the username/pw of the administrator and the username/pw for the database connection are the same. we dlike to change the password outof our hosting software, what do we have to do?
at the moment we do this:

<b>Database: </b>
update the pw for user where contentobject_id = 14

<b>update these files with newest un/pw infos:</b>
'settings/site.ini';
'settings/siteaccess/news/site.ini.append.php';
'settings/siteaccess/news_admin/site.ini.append.php';
'settings/siteaccess/admin/site.ini.append.php';
'settings/setup.ini';

is this correct or is ther an easyer way to do it?
what if i dont know the folder names liek "news_admin"??

thanks for your answers
