Joomla 2.5 Tutorials
Answer: Move it to the |Home directory (above public_html directory) which can only be accessed via FTP or CPanel File Manager. Pros: configuration.php will be better protected and your site will be more secure. Cons: No longer possible to edit configuration.php via Global Configuration in Joomla Administrator. The file must be manually edited. Step 1: Move configuration.php from the public_html directory (folder) to the Home directory above using FTP or CPanel File Manager. Tip: If you have more than one Joomla site involved make a folder for the file to keep it separate otherwise it could be overwritten. eg:(/home/cpanelusername/sitename/configuration.php) Step 2: Edit the files that contain the path to configuration.php. This is the constant to modify For example if Joomla is installed in the public_html folder (web root) then to move the file up one level into the Home directory and into a folder named "sitename" the constant will look like this: The DS = / on Linux and \ on Windows. ../ or ..\ moves up a directory level. The Joomla 3.x method for hiding configuration.php is similar, but slightly different.

Previously the Joomla core files updates were in the Update section of the Extensions Manager. Now as of version 2.5.4 it appears in the Components menu as "Joomla! Update".

Update" Component does not appear follow the steps below.
The default Joomla 2.5 Home Menu Item says "Welcome to the Frontpage". This should be removed or customized.
