Moving wp-config.php within public_html useful?

  • I am a novice in designing developing and an absolute newbie in WP. I’ve been reading about security strengthening measures, one of which is moving the wp-config.php file one directory above WP install directory (outside of all the WP directories that is)

    But what if that directory is still within public_html, is it as useful then?
    What I’ve read about moving that file is not always clear/differentiating the cases in which this “above” directory is also outside public_html or within it.

    Has any list ever been put together on “misbehaving” plugins when wp-config.php is moved?

    Cheers

    “Up” means in the other direction, I have just moved mine from public_html to the folder that holds public_html and all seems to be well. However, I have a second site located inside public_html, it has its own wp-config and I have yet to learn what to do about that.
