Hello,

Basically you will need to add more '..' syntaxes. For example (two levels up):

Is this syntax correct? I moved the file according to the instructions in the help tip inside the app and it resulting in a flooding error (I also have sh404sef installed; it detects and prevents flooding. Do its security features need to be turned off if I'm using RSFirewall?).

When I changed the configuration file back its default location and restored the defines file, the error stopped. That was the only rollback I made, so I'm sure it was the problem.

UPDATE:

I just tried this again to see what would happen. I changed the defines file to point to the new config file location, and clicked around a bit on the site. Everything was fine. Then I re-ran the system check. It asked for approval of the defines edit, but still said my config file was accessible in public_html (I hadn't deleted the old file there yet). So I deleted that old file. Things seemed fine at first. But then I re-ran the system check, and just like the previous time, it got stuck on step 2. At the same time, clicking on anything on the site resulted in a flooding error.

I fixed this simply by reuploading the config file to the public_html folder even though the defines file still pointed to the new location outside the web root.

Does this help?

Thanks.
