Thanks John for your reply. I have checked that http://yourserver.com/dokuwiki/data/pages/wiki/dokuwiki.txt is no more accessible but I want to achieve the appropriate security settings by tweaking .htaccess file (without moving the files/tampering the directory structure). Could you please help? -- Saikat from Pune ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ -----Original Message----- From: dokuwiki-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:dokuwiki-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of John Benedetto Sent: 14 March 2011 11:10 PM To: dokuwiki@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [dokuwiki] Re: "Data directory not secured" alert even after moving directories >>> On 3/11/2011 at 6:08 PM, Saikat Sengupta <SS0041200@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > I have followed the instructions from DokuWiki Security page.

Are you talking about this page: <http://www.dokuwiki.org/security#move_directories_out_of_docroot>? My guess would be that you moved it to a new location that is still web accessible, and I thought the goal was to move it OUTSIDE the web tree? Our wiki lives in /var/www/html/, but the data folder is /var/www/wikidata/, which is "outside" the web accessible content in the 'html' folder. (Hope that makes sense). But as I said above, that is just a guess...
