Why not install frameworks in the root folder

Postby Live24x7 » Wed Jul 18, 2012 6:55 am

I am exploring some of the MVC frameworks and almost all frameworks recommend not to install the framework in the root folder but outside it.
What is the exact risk of installing in the root folder ? Just a bit curious :roll:

If something is installed outside the root folder it cannot be accessed via the url
First, solve the problem. Then, write the code.
