Security

There is a remarkable amount of security coded into e107. For the beginner, the default file settings should be sufficient. If you are really paranoid about security, you can rename the directories; however, I would not recommend this unless you are comfortable editing PHP files. One of the things you can do is to make sure that the register_globals directive is set to On in your PHP installation. To verify this:
