Topic: config.php in safe directory
I want to place config.php in a safe directory (preferably my cgi-bin)
Will I have to modify all files that call for config.php and enter the new path?
I've been down so long it's beginning to look like up..
Re: config.php in safe directory
Yes, unfortunately. In version 1.1 of PunBB (which is in the works), the inclusion of config.php is done from include/common.php, so it will get easier in the next version :)
Edit: Could you perhaps solve it with a symlink?

Re: config.php in safe directory
I actually wrote like this on one of my forums (think it was a 1.0RC2 , but I guess it shouldn't matter which version it is)
<?php
include "/cgi-bin/config.php";in a new file that I saved as forumroot/config.php
and moved the real config.php to /cgi-bin/
(I used another directory, but just for illustration)
so then it was possible to hide it from the masses ...

Ah, of course. That's a brilliant solution to the problem :)

Thanks for that. It works a treat.
