I got software from a developer who move and can't be located, I just got the files but not the source code.
The thing is my client won't be using this software again but he wants to be able to access his data files from another application (the one I'm offering him).
I'm really lost, I've never seen any database (not sure if this is a database) with this kind of files.
Can some one point me in the right direction?
This are the files:
This are some of the files they copy as their database for backup.
So I'm almost sure this is the database, if I open them with a text editor, I can see some data but not in a secuencial way.
I feel kind of dumb asking, I already tried to look for *.H## *.P## *.B## extensions in Google with out any luck.
Hope some one can point me in the right direction.
Edit: I found connection in control panel, does this help any one?

According to this it is H&R block desktop application which produces these file extensions.

I apologise in advance for I know that this question has been asked several times already, but being a complete beginner at wordpress coding and database handling, I am still not sure about what those answers really meant.
So having just coded a website and converted it into WordPress, I now find myself having to change all of the localhost strings to the accurate ones, but with hundreds to go through, I just wanted to know if any of you were able to recommend a program or technique within PHPMyAdmin (that I may not be aware of) to avoid having to change them one at a time.
Thank you all in advance for your time and attention.
First, let me start by saying this is very dangerous, especially for an absolute beginner such as yourself. Please use this with extreme caution as you can potentially bring the entire site down by replacing values in your database with the wrong data.
With that said, there is a script specifically designed for doing search and replace on the WordPress MySQL database. http://interconnectit.com/products/search-and-replace-for-wordpress-databases/
Here's the direct download link: https://github.com/interconnectit/Search-Replace-DB/archive/master.zip
You will extract the folder from the donwloaded zip, then upload the folder to the root of your WordPress install. Once its uploaded just reference the folder in the browser. I always rename the folder to sr (shorthand for search and replace) so its easier to write out the full URL. So as an example, once its in the root of the WordPress install you'd access it like www.example.com/sr/.
After you access the script in the browser, you'll have a GUI with two boxes at the top. The first you'll enter the string you're searching for, and the replace string goes in the second box. Your MySQL details/login should already be populated. After entering your S&R terms scroll down and click "Update Details", then do the "Dry Run" option first. It'll run through the database and show you the values that will be changed. If you are satisfied with the changes, click "Live Run".
Depending on the database size it'll take just a short time to complete. This is the easiest way to S&R the WordPress database.
Important: for security reasons you'll want to delete this folder from your server after you have finished using it. You don't want a database S&R utility just lingering around for no reason.
Another possible option if you're familiar with WP-CLI is to use the wp search-replace command: https://developer.wordpress.org/cli/commands/search-replace/ This would be done through Terminal or another command line utility.
In phpMyAdmin open your table, choose Search > Find and replace. Then specify in which column you want to find and replace, and the original and replacement texts.
Without any doubt I would use http://interconnectit.com/products/search-and-replace-for-wordpress-databases/
This tool is especially designed for the situation you describe.
You upload the code to your server and then enter the "find" and "replace"
You can then do a dry run and the system will show you all the replaces that will be made across every single table in your Wordpress database.
Once you're happy then you can do a live run and the changes are made.
I have used this on probably one hundred Wordpress sites and it works a charm.
Some of our ColdFusion sites are having the words "coupon" inserted into their footer with a link to another site. Is there anything I can do to prevent this? Is there any software I can run to help detect any vulnerabilities? It doesn't seem to be SQL injection as the databases seem fine and nothing unusual is showing up in the logs.
There are several variations of attacks that produce this sort of result (appending a link to some malicious or nefarious site). For example, this one (Script Injection) uses the latency between a file upload and checking to insert executable code on your server.
Other attack vectors include FTP (which is why you should not use it), or other file transfer protocols. In your case the infected machine may not be the server. It could be a client machine with access to the server - a developer who has set up FTP to the server for example.
Let me know if you need formal help - we have a good track record fixing this sort of thing. If you get more clues post them and I'll try to help. I will warn you that if this is a server infectionit is at the root level and is so pervasive your only option is to start with a pristine install and reinstall your code. Bad news I know - sorry :(
We had something similar happen when one of our servers was hit by the hack Charlie Arehart describes here:
http://www.carehart.org/blog/client/index.cfm/2013/1/2/serious_security_threat
Have you had these patches?
Another option that I would recommend is searching your site(s) for any use of the <cffile> tag that isn't expected. I had a customer that somehow got a single file that was a backdoor to their site. It was particularly dangerous because it could upload files to any location on the server as well as execute any SQL command against any datasource on the server. In other words, this single file opened the door to all of the sites and databases that were running on that server.
This backdoor file (which was named vision.cfm) was often used to update footers with links to coupon and spam sites. vision.cfm was only 210 lines of code.
The entire server had to be sanitized after this was discovered.
So i have a server, with apache 2 - running a directory browser(i think it's called. Where i can access my files), as my own dropbox server. However it does how some limitations, when i'm at school for instance, and i wish to upload a project, i gotta send it with email to myself to upload it, i cant delete or anything. So i wanted to add a delete button(least important), i wanted to add a search function since the files are beginning to stack up. I would also like an upload button. I didn't really understand apache, i followed a tutorial for the server. I have a very basic html knowledge, and i have tried and tried to create it myself, and i have been searching for a loooong time(trust me).
So could anyone post a solution/tutorial/tip or anything useful? Please try to help me instead of answering with rude answers. I'm 15 and hoping to get these features up and running as soon as possible. Thanks:)
Just use the open source FTP FileZilla software https://filezilla-project.org/ instead?
I need to create a daily process which pulls market data from a website http://www.apxendex.com/index.php?id=137.
I had originally created an excel+VBA sheet which added the data to an xml file and this worked fine. However, the machine which I will be putting the code on doesn't have excel so all my work was pointless (stupid I know).
I'm not looking for someone to write anything for me, but some general tips on where to start, what language to go for etc. would be helpful.
Thanks
How did you get your information from the website?
There is a DataCapture API for that site. You can find the manual on this site (you have to login to see the manual). I guess it would be the easiest way to go the recommended way.
Before I start I want to say this is my first site I am uploading that has a database - so I will appreshate any help whatsoever!
What site is the best for webhosting - the cheapest and most reliable? I'm not sure how big my database will get - but I need to have a lot of space! (just in case).
I, of cource, don't want my site to break down, so need a very reliable well known site. I have an account already with 1and1.com - and know about Godaddy.com but neither of them are really THAT cheap - if you know what I mean. There is one site I found : "http://www.000webhost.com/" - does this seem alright?
Also, when I upload my site and database - do I have to leave my computer on full time to allow my database to be added to etc?!! Is there some way I can upload the database from my computer - so it's not anything to do with my computer ... or something.
As you can tell - this really is my first site - and I have really know idea.
Im using MYSQL, Coldfusion and Dreamweaver btw.
So again, any help would be great. thanks.
Cheap, Reliable, Easy.
In general, you can only pick two from the above.
Check out bluehost.com.
No, you do not need to leave your computer on. You definitely want to put the database on their server, not yours. It sound like you need to do some research on that.
Upload the CMS files from your local system and then perform an export of your MySQL database (software like phpMyAdmin makes this dead simple) and then import it to your new database on your new host. Modify the configuration of your CMS (database host, username, and password will need to change) and check that it connects and reads the database properly and everything works right.
That way you don't need to leave your computer on all the time - you're literally moving your entire website to their server.
