How can I move folder from document root for security?

Hello!
I see on my xoops admin panel this alert message;

WARNING: Folder /home/riversom/public_html/xoops_data is inside DocumentRoot!
For security considerations it is highly suggested to move it out of DocumentRoot.


In this case can someone tell me how can I move it out of documentroot????

Thanks

Hi,

For most webhosting packages, your html/php/xoops files will reside in a folder called something like:

xxxxx/home/htdocs

The warning message is saying that, in order to be safer, your xoops_lib and xoops_data folders (and subdirectories) should be in a different directory and preferebly one that can't be read by others, e.g.

xxxxx/home

If you can, move these directories there and edit mainfile.php to reflect the change.

However, with some hosting you are not allowed to access this directory yourself.

In addition to what John already explained, you can also take a look at the "Installation Guide", where it is explained more visually
