Joomla Security: Remove the Installation Folder

Details

Published on Monday, 17 October 2011 18:21

When installing Joomla 1.7 manually there is a button in the last step that will remove the installation folder.

Please don't forget to complete this step.

To prevent being hacked it is important to completely remove the folder name "installation" in the root of the Joomla files.

Simply renaming the folder in an attempt to "hide" it is not a good idea.
