However Moodle does state in their documentation clearly that both the data directory and core files should be placed outside the web accessible folder as it contains sensitive information. https://docs.moodle.org/503/en/Installing_Moodle#Download_and_copy_files_into_place Hence Softaculous cannot allow to place these files in a web accessible folder when Softaculous can check the paths and determine if they we are web accessible or not. Allowing an override checkbox will be welcoming security implications considering the user might not know the importance of this step.
