Good! You seem to have removed the install directory already.

Your config.php is reachable from the web.
This is a security risk and should be fixed!

Good! You seem to have changed the default account password already.
Please fix the above issues before using your site!

please could anyone tell how i go about making the config.php unreachable

We need to know how you've set up your directory structure in order to help you. Your $_CONF['path'] $_CONF['path_html'] and $_CONF['site_url'] settings are needed at a minimum.

I am running Geeklog v1.4.1 the same way, this page should help you out. Just make sure to password protect the directory and also change the name of the directory to something different from "geeklog". Perhaps gl, g-log, or scrumdidilyumptious (just something difficult to guess).

Thx!

Eric

Hi in reply my site was loaded up using fantastico I didnt think i would have to do this

That's because Fantastico installs Geeklog in a way we don't recommend. And the makers never bothered to contact us about it. That security warning was actually added to alert Fantastico users about these issues.
