At work, we generally install WordPress in root and move wp-config.php up one level (out of the servers content directory) for security purposes. It would be nice if we could do this with sub-directory installs as well (e.g. install in /wordpress and put wp-config.php in /../ [2 levels up]). Perhaps we could use some sort of recursive directory search that starts in the WordPress install directory and continues going up levels until it finds a wp-config.php file (if one exists). There should, of course, be some cut off level to stop searching at. I think that one level above the document root would be sufficient.",enhancement,closed,normal,,Security,,normal,duplicate,,,
