Hello, I'm new at Serendipity but have installed other php scripts. I was reading the serendipity installation instructions but did not see any instructions for removing files after installation. My experience from installing other scripts is that usually you have to remove certain files (i.e. install.php) after installation for security reasons.
My question is. After installing serendipity, are there files that should be removed from the server for security reasons.
Thanks

Re: After Installation - what files to remove
Hi!
Serendipity makes this easier. It remove the installation output once the serendipity_config_local.inc.php file is *present*.
So no, you don't need to remove any files after installation. What you could do after installation is make the main directory not writable for the webserver anymore. There's a technical documentation on s9y.org someplace that tells you which directoreies/files need to be writable for running s9y, and which privileges only for installation...
HTH,

Thank you.
I found the wording for proper chmod, but wasn't too sure if I needed to remove files after installation or not.
Thanks again
