2. Edit "html/includes/asconfig.php" file and change all these variables:
- $asec_dbconfig
- $asec_dbtable
- $asec_rand1
- $asec_rand2

Quote:

$asec_dbconfig = "please_change_this_dbconfig_name";
$asec_dbtable = "please_change_this_dbtable_name";
$asec_rand1 = "d8h4dkodhnl98doiwjo7e9ifwp0r06wkn0jkdc8w8jsk3jdchs3gd7he3";
$asec_rand2 = "pnf7gss09dhf6ted3ndolss5sm398o6qkdlsdsd66kd7k3ldspq92mkkw";

/*

I have no idea what these are meant to be. Only that they are suspose to be something similar to the phpnuke config.php file. Yet, Those ive shown it to, people that are experts with most php and mysql, none of them know exactly what its asking for.

Can someone tell me.

PS: I did read the explanations that it has above in the asconfig.php file, but they didnt make sense to me.

$asec_dbconfig... name this whatever you want - perferably something that's not easy to guess. Admin Secure will create the required table.
$asec_dbtable... ditto to above. Use a different name
$asec_rand1... this is just a random string.. just start typing in a long string of letters
$asec_rand2 ditto

Both $asec_dbtable and $asec_dbconfig can be mean anything. For good practise, use only letters and underscores to avoid further problems. For some tips, do not use any name related to you, your site, your host, your community, etc. For a good sample, assuming your grandma has a black cat Tom and a dog Brutus. Use it as both variables:

$asec_dbtable = "black_tom_is_grandma_s_cat";
$asec_dbtable = "brutus_is_grandma_s_dog";

Hehehe... Embarassed

Now about two another variables, $asec_rand1 and $asec_rand2. If you're not sure how to modify these values, try to swap the random text using cut/paste operation in your text editor. For example:

before: "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz"
after few cuts/pastes: "efnohibcmwxaqrgyzstdpjkluv"

Another way is by hitting your keyboard randomly. When finish, remove non-alphanumeric characters (any non A-Zs and 0-9s). There is no restrictions for the length of this text because it uses as hashes string, but do not leave these variables assigned as empty string.
