You know the page you get when you first install WordPress to a domain? It seems like it's totally public, so what's to prevent someone from stumbling onto your site (especially if you already had links pointing to the URL) and entering in the info to setup a blog. I realize you could just delete and reinstall, but it still seems like pretty insecure behavior. Is it meant to be open like that?

Don't tell anyone about it .

Are you looking for a way to maybe password-protect your site?

The install.php file is useless once WP is installed.
They would need to have access to your database for it to work again.

jUST DELETE ANY INSTALL FILES ( OR DIRECTORY )


Hey, You could even just give up? Might make everyone's live better?

If wordpress is already installed wp-install.php it's useless.
