Remove PHPIDS

In response to this ticket http://www.boonex.com/trac/dolphin/ticket/3298 submitted by Nathan Paton 4 months ago and the fact that i just got a report that this is occurring on the site of one of my customers and the settings are set to disable it, yet the reports are occurring anyway. I decided to see if i could remove it.

I found it actually quite easy. To remove phpids do the following.

1) Edit inc/header.inc.php

Find this line. and delete it.

require_once(BX_DIRECTORY_PATH_INC . "security.inc.php");


2) Delete the file inc/security.inc.php

3) Delete the folder plugins/phpids

4) Run this sql from phpMyAdmin

DELETE FROM `sys_options` WHERE `Name` = 'sys_security_impact_threshold_log';
DELETE FROM `sys_options` WHERE `Name` = 'sys_security_impact_threshold_block';

5) Clear your dolphin cache.

That's it. You should no longer see these messages.

Out of the blue the other day, I got a security breach email even though I had the security disabled.  Of course I knew what it was and just ignored it.
