security issue - special filenames in root of domain not allowed

[photoexposer]

Hello Dev-Team,

1st thanks for the 1.3.. great

for security reasons some hoster do NOT allow special filenames like config.*, system-bin.* or spicons.*
in the root directory of the domain. (Inst. in subdirectory works)

Therefore I am not able to install CPG in the root directory.

now my wish...

is it possible, that you rename all these filenamens in the package like config.php, etc..? that installing into root would be possible ?
Thanks

This is being considered....

meanwhile (as a workaround), rename config.php to somename.php and change the link pointing to it in themes/yourtheme/theme.php

Hello again,

after changing the installation path to root.. anything else to refurnish ?
if I batch-upload images now..

1) the image is not shown up before uploading
2) after uploading the result-sign is not available
3) after revisiting the album the images are there

did I forget something to change ??
I allready did a database update (admin tools)

thanks
cu Thomas

Do not hijack a thread - not even the ones you started yourself. We have a one question per thread policy on this board. As far as I can see this is a new issue...
