big security flaw in b2

i had installation problems a few moments ago and i realised that b2install.php is on my monkey.dayzero directory. this can be a great security flaw because it simply overruns all existing settings and posts and makes a new copy of b2. this also means that all accounts are wiped out and the admin user and pass becomes the default.

this is worrying. for those of you who're using b2, please DELETE b2install.php from your ftp server after installation. if you can't remember your password you can upload it back and do a clean reinstallation, or request michel to do this password sending thing. thank you.

alternatively, you can chmod the install.php file to something else (like 755) or request yet another feature on b2: for the install.php file to auto delete itself after installing.

i would request this to be reflected in the b2 readme.

I went to the hardware store and bought some used paint. It was in
the shape of a house. I also bought some batteries, but they weren't
included.

actually made me look like a gigantic bat wearing glasses ...

Buying books would be a good thing if one could also buy the time to read them in: but as a rule the purchase of books is mistaken for the appropriation of their contents. by wsop

What is b2 ?
A classy news/weblog tool (aka logware).

How does it work ?
You type something and hit "blog this" and in the next second it's on your page(s). You can write extended entries, or even entries that span multiple pages. You can also use BloggerAPI clients to post to your b2 weblog.
What's original in b2 ? Pages are generated dynamically from the MySQL database, so no clumsy 'rebuilding' is involved. It also means faster search/display capabilities, and the ability to serve your news in different 'templates' without any hassle.

Requirements ?
A server that can run PHP4, and a MySQL database (you can install b2 in an already existing database, and you can put several b2's in one database).

Where can I download it ?
b2 0.6 is the latest public release.
You can also visit the CVS server for the latest code, at your own risks.
See the ReadMe file for requirements and installation instructions.
