Hi Guys,
Another ticket from me, sorry. I wanted to mention I am uncomfortable that the Django install script installs Django into the public_html directory and there doesn't seem to be any way to avoid this. My (shiney new) Django book advises strongly against installing under the web root, for the same reasons of most other frameworks.
Is this something that can be made possible?
Thanks!
Adam

At the moment, there's no way to prevent this .. in order to be consistent with other scripts, Django gets installed under public_html, even though technically it doesn't have to be.
However, since the install sets up a block for the install URL path, I don't see how this could cause problems as there is no way to access Django files directly via the web.
