I have a concern of a vulnerability of one site providing access to others.

well believe it or not. just did a fresh install with d 7-12 [released on 2012 feb. 01]

first of all - i am strugling with t he htaccess for months not. with the orignial htaccess i have no luck at all. With that - all i get is the following

Next-step: trying out a settings-file - that is derived from a drupal commons 6.x24 - [very very curiouls and strange - i know - but what should i do] When i upload a settings-file that is derived from the default.settings.php then i alos get a blank page If i upload a settings file (/that i have taken from the drupal commons 6x-24 - which is obviousliy blank (not filled in with something) then i get the following
