    Read/Write Access on Apache

    Just to make sure I'm doing this right since I'm still a little shaky on setting up file permissions on an Apache webserver,

    I have a file LocalSettings.php, part of the MediaWiki distribution that needs to be set on the Apache webserver so that other users cannot read/write to it. This is important sice this file contains database access data. As such, I changed this file permission to only accept read/write access from the owner (600). This should be enough, correct?
