 Can I actually do that through my Control Panel ? i mean through sth cp.myserver.com mySQL ?  

 bcause using ftp user/pass 's very risky, if one can hack my YaBB SE, then he can have my account user/pass in hand, thats not a good idea though,

  if u know how tell me how pls.

 appreciate that

Your host probably sets you the MySQL username/password.

if a hacker (i prefer the word "Cracker" crack your yabbse, then he will do that by a bruteforce attack on your ftp! or he use telnet! if you have access to the area outsite public_html then put your Settnigs.php in this area! so it´s very difficult to crack this!

If I want to move the Settings.php outside the public_html dir what files do I need to alter so that it will find the new path to the Settings.php?

He means that usually when you install YaBB SE you install it to the public_html directory which is accessed by all users by browsers etc. Where you store your homepage. Usually when you have a shell you also have your own root directory and that is only accessed by you.

if you use CPanel (i.e. CPanel 4) you can add a user to your existing db!

cPanel ->advanced menu ->sql databse

here you can add a new user to your existing db (add user to db)! this user/password combi you can use in yabbse!

hi again,

i just asked your host and, sorry you can´t change the mysql datas to login!

QuoteAccessing mySQL
To access mySQL via your web pages, connect to the mySQL server using the following credentials.

Parameter Value
Username The account's username
Password The account's main password
Database The account's username
Server localhost

this is not a resctriction of cpanel, this is a restriction of your hosting company!
