So, I started working on an installer script for xshop. In order to make the install as simple as possible, I was thinking of = moving everything in the /bin folder into the root (one level up). This = way, the package can be simply unzipped into the webroot and the user = can run the install script which sets up the database and other things. = No files need to be moved or copied, except of course the config file. I dont know if it really is more secure to put everything possible out = side of the web root. That of course is still an option this way. But = people can get up and running quicker and the install script doesnt have = to copy any files which would require chmod'ing etc. Also some people = may not have the option to put things outside of the root anyway. For the other directories that would traditionaly be outside the = webroot, we can put a blank index.html so nobody can see what's in = there. Any objections? |
