Hi, 

 

On my fresh installed joomla 4 i get this warning: 

Your server does not support encryption of your configuration settings. We strongly advise you not to store any passwords in the configuration.

Witch server config do need to adjust to make encrytion posibol ?

 

 

With kind regards,

Your server needs to have the PHP OpenSSL extension installed and enabled. Moreover, the folder administrator/components/com_akeebabackup/engine needs to be writeable by the user your site is running under.

If both conditions are met and you still see this message I believe you are also seeing a Joomla warning about File: Infinite Loop Detected. This is a bug in Joomla itself which prevents the administrator/components/com_akeebabackup/engine/serverkey.php file (containing a settings encryption key created at first run and when the file is missing using a cryptographically secure pseudorandom generator) from being written to. We will make a new release a bit later today where we are no longer using Joomla's buggy filesystem API, instead reverting to only using the built-in PHP functions for file access, overcoming this problem.

Version 9.0.4 was released a few minutes ago. Please note that due to the way Joomla caches updates it may be a few hours before you see the update in Joomla.
