Details

For security reasons, I’d like to get the contents of the configuration.php file out of sight, preferably outside the public_html folder. Previously, I was able to use an include in a configuration.php file and call the full configuration from a renamed configuration file outside the browsable area of my site.

Current Mambo security doesn’t allow the use of a configuration file outside the absolute path.

More explanation here: http://forum.mambo-foundation.org/showthread.php?p=64318#post64318.

TIA.

Apologies, didn't select the correct version. It should be 4.6.x
