I assume you have rad all the warnings on that document
Moving the configuration.php from your root of your Joomla installation as described in the procedures below makes no sense at all if your website or server is insufficiently protected. Moving the file only prevents the viewing of the Joomla configuration file by the casual observer. It offers no protection if root access can be been gained to your domain in some fashion, nor does it prevent root access to your domain that is the result of security compromises in Joomla, from 3rd party extensions, or similar insecurities from access gained through badly configured/protected remote or local servers."
