    I don’t know much about server things – so I have this question:
    The file “wp-config.php” has my mysql database password in pure text. Isn’t it possible for bad guys to download this file and to manipulate my sql database?

    Nope..
    http://www.tamba2.org.uk/T2/wp-config.php – help yourself 🙂
    The server reads that file, not the browser. It’s very secure, and with over 25,000 wordpress blogs using this method, not to mention many many other apps that work in a smiliar way, be assured it’s very safe.
    The weakest point of your – and everyone’s blog – is your password.
