curious
I am in the final phases of securing my GL server and while reviewing some files I noticed the config.php for phpBB2 sitting in the folder which resides in my root. My root is /htdocs and this folder is at /htdocs/forum/phpbb2/config.php which is susceptible to security issues. As u know the GL DB username and password is located in this config.php file.

Is there something I can do about this? Can I move it? Modify it?

It shouldn't be a security issue, but if you have concerns, I would post them at the phpbb.com forums where there are people more knowledgable about the subject of phpBB security.
