Hi, all
$_CONF['path_html'] in 1.4.1b1 is defined as
It might be assumed that the 'public_html' directory is directly ** under ** the <Geeklog> directory, I imagine. Are these new directory locations recommended in 1.4.1b1? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for replying, Dirk and samstone. I assumed that these two directories ** must ** be in different directory trees for security reasons and thus are located so by default. I think I will have to read the installation instructions better next time.

You are right. You want to put the /geeklog directory behind the /public_html to prevent publich access. The default in CPanel would be like:
/home/username/geeklog/public_html
Mine is a little different because I want to keep it organized.
/home/username/geeklog/
/home/username/public_html/
This way I can keep the geeklog file in one folder and not clutter the directory behind public_html with a bunch of Geeklog core folders and files. This also alows me to upgrade more easily.

Having public_html *in* your geeklog folder does not mean you have to go against recomendations.
I use the following setup to separate core from www files:
/path/to/geeklog is outside the www-root and contains all geeklog files so there is for example:
/path/to/geeklog/public_html
Then I set up a link in the www-root so:
/www/root/geeklog points to: /path/to/geeklog/public_html
This makes it possible for me to have all geeklog files in one folder but at the same time keep the core files inaccessable from the www-root.

Here's what I do:
$_CONF['main_path'] = '/var/www/'; // should end in a slash
$_CONF['public_path'] = $_CONF['main_path'] . 'public_html/'; // should end in a slash
// This should point to the directory where your config.php file resides.
$_CONF['path'] = $_CONF['main_path'] . 'geeklog/'; // should end in a slash
// You only need to change this if you moved or renamed the public_html
// directory. In that case, you should specify the complete path to the
// directory (i.e. without the $_CONF['path']) like this:
// $_CONF['path_html'] = '/path/to/your/public_html/';
$_CONF['path_html'] = $_CONF['public_path'];
// Write for example $_CONF['public_path'] . 'mysite/' if you use this
// config.php in multiple sites that all use $_CONF['public_path'] as their
// public_html but some of them use more internal folders (e.g. mysite/).
.
.
.
$_CONF['path_to_netpbm'] = $_CONF['main_path'] . 'netpbm/';

Thanks for kind replies, samstone, eg0master, and LWC. I'm a MS Window$ user and know little about *nix file systems. When I set up Geeklog on *nix next time, I'll sure remember and make good use of your advice.

Actually you can do what I do on windows too...
Put all geeklog files in one place, then in your IIS create a virtual directory pointing at your geeklog/public_html.
I do it myself on my windows laptop for tests.

Thanks for suggestions, eg0master.
I use Apache on MS Windows and have never tried IIS. I'll try your idea some time.

Even with apache you can set up any folder to be the server root, right? SO I think "my setup" is still possible.

I tried "your setup" and it works fine. Thanks for your detailed suggestion, eg0master.

I do it this way as well. I wish the tar files were arranged like this by default. It would probably help those folks with dense ISPs understand the security concept. But that's just a minor quibble. /home/username/geeklog/
/home/username/public_html/
