Hello,
On a website, I get the message "Your server does not support encryption of your configuration settings. We strongly advise you not to store any passwords in the configuration."
What should I do to enable it?
Is it a Joomla setting or a server-side setting? If it's server-side, what should I change in cPanel?
Thank you very much.
Regards
Marco
It is a server setting. You need to enable the PHP OpenSSL extension for all PHP versions you are using on your site.
The correct way to do it depends on your host.
