If you are looking for a component to help you increase security around your Joomla! configuration file, this could be it! Features: * Change the permissions of configuration.php * Rename configuration.php * Propose random name for configuration.php * Move configuration.php to any folder inside or outside your public_html folder * Create folder in which to save configuration.php if the folder does not exist * Change all references to configuration.php in all the files included in Joomla!'s folder * Reverse all changes (required every time you need to add an extension that includes a reference to configuration.php)

Works Well by w1x, June 20, 2008
Hi,

This works really well, except with YaNC, in my experience anyway. When renaming configuration file im presuming it checks every php file and finds and replaces configuration.php with new name. This causes a problem to YaNC as it also has a file called configuration.php and its called in various places.

Managed to resolve it by manually editing YaNC files and replacing the new name with configuration.php

Can I also ask whether it's possible to have something similar for administrator folder?

Overall, excellent component :)

I just installed this component on my test site to rename the configuration.php and restore it back. It works great! I can access the site seamlessly without any problem before and after the rename. Thanks for sharing this. I will try to install it on my live site later.
