XF 1.1 Just installed it, delete the install folder?

[Daniel Bittar]

Hi there people!

Well, I just bought XenForo and installed it in my server. Can I delete the install folder?

Thanks a lot,
Daniel Bittar.

You don't need to delete that folder. You should leave it.

XF writes an internal_data/install-lock.php file to lock out the install script without having to delete it.

However it would be safer to delete, wouldn't? Does it break the application if I do so?

... Does it break the application if I do so?

No.
I rename the install to a cryptic-nonsense name.

Nope. It's already safe.

Does it break the application if I do so?

I don't think it will break anything. But it will cause you extra work if you ever need to rebuild the master data (you will need to upload that directory again).
