I am setting up a viart store to evaluate the shopping cart. In the manual it briefly talks about securing your installation. I have deleted the install.php. What other steps should be taken to "harden" the install so that no one other the me can access the important files. The install is running on a virtual server so I am not sharing with anyone else.
 
thanks

I changed the name of my admin directory - that certainly helps.

christopherO, can you, please, elaborate a little?
