This little trick adds some extra security to your board.
Change the name of config.php to anything you want. In this tutorial I'm going to name the config "securedconfig.php".

Now, in config.php, put this:

Code:
<?
 
 if (realpath(__FILE__) == realpath($_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME'])) {
 
   exit('Denied.');
 
 }
 
 @include('yournewconfigname.php');

In "securedconfig.php" put the old content of your old config.php
That's it!
