Write-protect your Joomla configuration file (make unwriteable)

You should definitely write-protect your Joomla configuration file. The file is called "configuration.php" and is located in the root folder of your domain. Joomla 1.5 write protects the configuration.php by default, but in Joomla 1.0 you must actively choose to write protect the file. You do that by checking the option "Make unwriteable after saving" in the Joomla Global Configuration. You can also manually CMOD the file to 444.
