hi All,

I'm new to the gallery so can anyone please shed some light on gallery security?

After installation all files but php are easily viewable through http - can it be a security problem regarding storing DB passwords or running e-commerce module under gallery?

Are images stored outside www directory?

I'm running a hosting with VPN - what kind of requirements I can ask my hosting company to better protect gallery?

Thanks,

If you followed the install directions, yes.
