Encryption Key

General (Resolved)

Hi
I if want to do the setup of Backup Pro i have an error message:

An Error Was Encountered
In order to use the encryption class requires that you set an encryption key in your config file.

In fact there is no code in the config file.

Do i have to ‘create’ a encryption key? If yes how can i do this.
Why is this empty in the config file - I checked another installation and can find an encryption code there.

Thanks
Res

Hi Res,

Sorry to hear that man; it’s a simple fix though.

The ExpressionEngine config file is where you set the encryption key. Depending on your version of ExpressionEngine it’ll either have to be added or update though; older versions didn’t include on by default.

If you’re not familiar, see the below thread for details on how to get up and running:

Please let me know if you have any further issues or questions.

Thanks,
Eric

I have the same problem with EE version 2.4.0.
I saw the other thread and tried copy the code but also with no success.
Then I also tried the code below in my main EE config file:

$config['encryption_key'] = '513jgTnTf3*,_v(M1>CZ5T=p%;nR|lx|M\“vLKh^u$*S46\bVh.ueWEcC`5of(:'; 

But whatever i do nothing works.
Do you have a idea, what goes wrong or what to try?
Thank you already for your time.

Hi Eddy,

Have you verified whether there is already an encryption_key variable set within your EE config file? It sounds like there’s already one, but with a blank value, so updating that value should wrap you up.
