Securing your wp-config.php file for Wordpress 2.7.1
Error: How do I secure my wp-config.php file for Wordpress 2.7.1?
Solution: Create another php file in a non-web-accessible location on your server’s hard drive. Copy all the sensitive data from the wp-config.php into your new file. Then, at the top of the wp-config.php file, require_once the new php file you just put all the sensitive info into (code: Require_Once(’PATH/newfilename.php’);). This will prevent anyone from outside the web server from accessing the sensitive info in wp-config.php
