Installation Manual

Step 7 – Finish
Delete the installation directory
If you did not delete the Installation directory at Step 3 before uploading the core package to the server you
need to do so now.
Step 7 – Delete the installation directory
Warning! It is essential that the installation directory is removed as soon as you have completed the
installation. Failure to do so will leave a significant security risk for your Web site. As you have already found,
unlike the browser installation you are able to access the site without taking this step and the consequences
could be catastrophic further down the time line!
