How to change location of configure.php file ?

[zax80]

Hello,

I need to change the location of configure.php, but don't know how.
Please tell me, if you know how to do that.

Thank you

Why would you want to move it?

You shouldn't need to change the location of the files. You should have 2. One in admin/includes and the other in /includes.

I didn't actually move mine, but did move the sensitive information in it (to separate secure encrypted files) by going through it and doing stuff like this:

// define our database connection
require_once('/htdocs/www.mysite.com/secure/inc/dbconnect.php');
define('DB_TYPE', 'mysql');
define('DB_PREFIX', '');
define('DB_SERVER', "$db_host");
define('DB_SERVER_USERNAME', "$db_user");
define('DB_SERVER_PASSWORD', "$db_pass");
define('DB_DATABASE', "$dbname");
define('USE_PCONNECT', 'true');
define('STORE_SESSIONS', 'db');

The variables (such as $db_host) refer to the encrypted file linked by the require_once.

Good luck!
