Not exactly RTFM, but ...

Just wanted to point out that after the install went through you are reminded to secure your installation directory. /path/to/geeklog/public_html/admin/install/success.php says:

WARNING: Before you do anything else you need to make sure that /path/to/geeklog/admin/install/install.php can not be executed by the webserver otherwise someone could do damage to your new Geeklog installation. Either change the file permissions so it can't be executed OR move the file someplace outside your web tree.

But I guess not everyone is reading this passage carefully or forgets to do as instructed over the excitement of having Geeklog up and running ...

bye, Dirk
