Are there any important files outside the installation directory?
Yuri - November 7, 2009 - 07:21
I have multiple installations of drupal on one server, including the root directory.
I wonder if there are any drupal files that are placed outside an installation directory?
I mean i have domain.com\drupal and i am wondering if there are any files in domain.com\ that belong or have influence on the drupal installation in \drupal
Thanks

nope
What you unpacked from the distro is what you need.
Unless you've set things up really strangely, then drupal/* is everything. (Plus the database itself)
.dan.
.htaccess, robots.txt, database
I believe that the .htaccess and robots.txt will have influence on the Drupal installation.
Don't forget the database file as well.
