Xoops is installed fine I believe. However once I sign into the site I get this error message on the admin page. I'm not a programmer and not even close, hopefully this is an easy fix.

WARNING: Folder /home/ray122/public_html/mywebsite.com/main/xoops_lib is inside DocumentRoot!
For security considerations it is highly suggested to move it out of DocumentRoot.

Hi Spectrum,

really very easy. Move out your xoops_lib folder outside your ur main folder.

Example: /home/ray122/xoops_lib

After it, edit your mainfile.php (located on root), found the right line, (where indicates xoops_lib location), modify, save &upload!!!

That´s all!

I think it worked. I did exactly what you said, I still get the warning and I still have this showing.

spectrum,

read again!!! You have different messages

Do same steps i explained before with xoops_lib folder, but right now with xoops_data folder

After you finished, change permissions to mainfile.php, put on 444 and... works !!!

We have an excellent guide to do this & increase your XOOPS security too, but you must to understand (or learn same i did with english ) spanish or use a translator

Guide located here.
